You're a Gem Diamond Tutorial

We had fun making our own personal diamonds in a class I had a couple weeks ago.  But no matter what I do I can't seem to get the new a muse studio color Violeta to look purple (the way it should look) on my monitor.  Does yours look purple or more blue?...
Okay well anyway below is a quick tutorial on how to make the diamond which by the way looks totally sparkly in real life.  
It's a little hard to tell in the photo but there is a "window" cut out of the front of the card and the diamond & polka dot paper are showing through from the inside.
  • Stamp Stazon black onto clear window sheet 
  • Turn it over to the back side and add a large pea size of Crystal Clear Glaze - spread with a toothpick
  • Sprinkle on Diamond Glitter (or any color glitter for other gems), dump off excess 
  • Mix glitter and glaze together with a toothpick then place a piece of plain white tissue paper on top and press down  
  • Let dry completely then trim with scissor or use our new Diamond die cut
  • Adhere with 3-D foam to your project
