My Fun Day

I spent my day working on a couple cards for a tutorial and I wanted to share my end results with everyone... I had so much fun creating these cards and I am so happy with how they turned out... All images, glitters and embossing powders can be purchased from Sparkle N Sprinkle Here is my first card...

This is a Digi image that I altered slightly to add my glittered stars... The original image has snow falling in the background where I punched my stars.. I kept this one simple and just added a pretty ribbon and bow to the top. I used my heat tool to "curl" my ribbon slightly... My next card turned out better than I had expected and I am truly pleased with the final product here.......

I cut out the delicate butterfly with cardstock and then the "shadow" butterfly with Super Adhesive Sheets (also purchasable at Sparkle N Sprinkle). I then adhered the delicate butterfly onto the shadow one and added this GORGEOUS turquoise flock. I don't use flock often because it typically doesn't turn out well for me but this one I think is very elegant and the colors worked great... My final card is my favorite one...

This is truly one of my favorite images right now.. Now only are lilies among my few favorite flowers, but these just look great... If you don't own Copic markers... GO BUY THEM... You are missing out... I know they are difficult to work with at first, but once you finally understand them and get how they work, you will wonder how you lasted so long without them and you will NEVER look back... Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy what I have done here. Let me know what you think... Happy Stamping!!!

Be A Rose

This was done for a new technique, well newly posted technique by Brenda at Sparkle N Sprinkle. This technique can be found in their Techniques and Tutorials section under Stamping On Glitter. I absolutely love this technique. The look it gave this card was so elegant and pretty.

I made the rosette using a scrap sheet of cardstock that measured 1 1/4" X 12. I stamped my rose using Memento Black Tuxedo ink and colored with various copic markers. I "fussy" cut my image and layered on top of my rosette. I used the iRock to add the rhinestones and I used the swirled template. I absolutely love my iRock. I hope you like what I did with my card today... Visit the Sparkle N Sprinkle website to see how to stamp on glitter and make your cards really pop... The glitter and Super Adhesive Sheets can be purchase from Sparkle N Sprinkle.... Happy Stamping!!!

Beautiful Glittered Rose

I was just playing around in my stamp room so I thought I would play for a little bit. I had this image sitting on my desk all colored and ready to use, but how to use it? I started with my image and colored with copic markers. I then cut the image out using a spellbinders classic circle die. I then cut out a matching circle of double sided adhesive sheet.

I stuck the adhesive sheet to my flower, removed the backing from the adhesive sheet and then added glitter on top of my image. I made my rosette using a strip of DSP 1 1/2" by 12 and scored every 1/4" using alternating valley and mountain folds. I then assembled my card with a few layers and my rosette on top with my gorgeous glittered image...

Mosaic Blue Butterflies

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CARD!!!!

There isn't anything about this card I would change... I picked out this DSP and the colors just go so well together... I chose to do the glitter mosaic technique with these colors and it looks awesome... The glitter is Aqua Marine Glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle. This color is a beautiful mix of blue/green. The butterflies are coated with Green Iris glitter also from Sparkle N Sprinkle.. It's no secret that green is my favorite color so I am super pleased with this card... I hope you enjoy and will give this technique a try... Happy stamping!!!

DTGD Challenge #2

This is my card for the monochromatic DTGD challenge... We had to make a monochromatic card with 1 small color pop in addition to our main color... I chose green since it's my favorite color and there are so many wonderful shades and then I chose to "pop" with a small bit of yellow. The lace looking background is done with a piece of polyester lace and then the lace is removed so there is no actual lace on this card, it just looks like lace and is such a beautiful technique... The rest of this card is pretty simple and was easy to put together but I feel that the look of the glitter lace just makes this card pop even with a simple design...
