In today’s 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial, I’ll demonstrate how easy it is to brush Wink of Stella on embossed card stock to add subtle shimmer!
4 tips to brush wink of stella on embossed card stock
- Prime It: Shake and gently squeeze the Wink of Stella for best results.
- Highlight Details: Brush the Wink of Stella on small, embossed areas to make them pop with a subtle shimmer. This adds dimension without overwhelming the design.
- Let it Dry: Let the areas that you brushed on the Wink of Stella dry completely. If you want more shimmer, add another layer.
- Other “Wink” Options: Lightly brush the pen along the edges of die-cuts, shapes, or paper borders. This technique frames the elements of your card with a subtle shimmer, giving them a polished look.

Watched a video where you mix a drop or two of vegetable glycerin then add some Wink of Stella, stir then apply with a blender brush on your colored cardstock. Die cut some leaves, etc., with your own hand made glitter cardstock!
