Here is a simple but really exciting new way to create your own rhinestone swirls for your pages and cards.
All you'll need is a Versamark ink pad, some rhinestones that range in many sizes, and a stamp that has a swirled image.
I like to place my picture on my layout first. That way I can get an idea of where I want my swirl to go. Next I cover my photo with cardstock cut to the same size. (Keep this around because you can stamp over it many times)
Next ink up your stamp, and stamp your image where you would like it.
Now you should see a very faint image of your stamp. For the placement of the rhinestones I used Embellie Gellie to pick up each one and adhered them with "The Best Glue Ever". Remember to place each stone from large to small, working from the inside out.
Now you have the look of an expensive rhinestone swirl for much less.
What a great Idea, I love. I am going to try it on a card:)
