And I also wanted to show you how putting together nail art glitters, a stencil and black clay is such a magical combination. Now, I didn't stop there: I stenciled gold metal leaf and then I cut the piece in two. And there's more. But I don't want to spoil the surprise. And after baking the clay, I finished the design by applying a generous amount of UV resin. I just love how this clay pendant turned out. Don’t you like it too? Here are the tools and materials that I used: Black polymer clay 3 stencils Nail art glitters: purple, indigo, blue Imitation gold metal leaf A triangle cutter Polymer clay tools: blade, smoothing tools A floral texture plate Oven, baking paper Pasta machine UV resin and a lamp Heat gun I encourage you to take this inspiration and use it in your work with clay. Happy claying!
