Pink Ladies Dart Pin

Now I want to show you what beautiful color you get.  I am very passionate about a lot of things, but the one thing that is near and dear to my heart right now is a dart league that I am playing in to support cancer.  It's an all women's league.  All the money that we raise goes to fighting cancer.  We are doing fund raisers, auctions and even side pledges.  I decided to make myself a pin recognizing this league.

I started with some paperclay and used a ribbon cookie cutter to cut it out.

I sanded the edges with an emery board and got into all those tiny areas. 

Then I painted it with the Shimmer Pink Sapphire and 3d crystal lacquer.  This is the most beautiful paint ever.  Also when using the 3d crystal lacquer you get a nice seal over the top of your project. 

Then I molded 3 darts using an existing dart earring I had 

I painted each dart gold 

Of course I own a dart board stamp and stamped 

that image onto some white cardstock. 

Then I adhered the darts and the dartboard onto the ribbon again 

using 3d crystal lacquer because it bonds very well 

and then I also layered some more 3d crystal lacquer 

over the top of the dartboard and it gives it a glass like look. 

Really honestly, the pictures do it no justice.  

I wish I had a better way of showing you how beautiful this pin turned out. 

I put a pin back onto my ribbon and it hangs proudly on my dart case.
