"Pixelled" Helmar ZapDots card

Hi Everyone!

Today I played along with the girls in Split Coast Stampers F4A91 "Pixellated" challenge. We were asked to use multiple squares on our card to create the look of pixels. While everyone else was using paper or paint,  I knew exactly what I wanted to use for my squares....Helmar ZapDots! :)

I thought I would show you really quick how simple my card was to make. I think I might have created a new technique. :) I haven't seen it anywhere at least. 

I used small black Helmar ZapDots and some Ranger Ink's Perfect Pearls Pigment Powders.

I simply removed the paper backing from one row of the ZapDots then with a soft paint brush, just rubbed my first color into the sticky.

Then I did the same with a couple more rows and my second color of Perfect Pearls.

I cut a 3" card base and a 2 1/2" square out of Black cardstock from Discount Card Stock.

I stamped a fun Studio g sentiment with Ranger Ink's Snow Cap then added some white embossing powder and heat set it.

I then used some craft tweezers to place the "pixels" on the square around the sentiment.

I then cut a square of Brilliant White cardstock just a tad bigger then my black square and attached it with Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. I added some Turquoise and Black Knotted Cord from Really Reasonable Ribbon, then attached it to my card base with more black Helmar ZapDots.

It was super fun using my Helmar ZapDots for decoration instead of hiding them under layers of paper!

Hope you will give this technique a try!

I would love to hear what you think about my project!
