Smile…a soldering project

I had so much fun using my soldering iron to create this charm card. Whether you add soldered pieces to cards, scrapbook layouts, jewelry or create altered projects…I love the unique look. This is another design I created for my Craft Critique review…a card  featuring a soldered charm on the front.

To create this design, I first stamped my Silhouette Blooms flowers onto some lined patterened paper by Prima. To make the stamped sentiment stand out enough, I brushed some paint over the stamping and allowed to dry. Before soldering, I stamped smile on the front glass piece in black Stazon.

Quick Tip: Cut felt squares to use as a layer instead of paper. I love the warmth and texture it adds!

Sending you smiles…
