Hello everyone!! Today I'm participating in the Lawnscaping Challenge #109. It's all about the Sparkle and the Shine!!
It's also sponsored by Ellen Hutson. Which if I made add, I've fallen completely head over heels in love with the Essentials by Ellen line of products!!
Before I get to the card, there is something you must know about me...I am terrible at sequin placement. I mean terrible. Whenever I try it ends up looking either silly or way over done.
( The problem may be that I don't have different sizes of sequins because I'm not bad at adding enamel dots and rhinestones?) So coming up with a sparkly, shiny card was a challenge for me!
I used Lawn Fawn's Heres the Scoop stamp set with the co-ordinating dies, Cole's ABC's dies and the Stitched Puffy Cloud border dies to create this card.
Now in order to actually have sparkle and shine on this project I used Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush on the ice creams as well as a dollop of Glossy Accents on each. I used Crystal Stickles on the hearts and Sakura Glitter pen and the Clear Glaze pen on the letters...also used some on the dots of the patterned paper!! Here's a close up:
So, there it is. A sparkly, shiny card with NO sequins and NO rhinestones!!
I had a lot of fun with this!!
Hope you enjoyed!!
Until next time...stay crafty!!

ReplyDeleteThis card looks perfect. I love what you did with the scalloped, dotted top and bottom of the card. I really like the gradient color made on the word SWEET; also the size of the word.
ReplyDeleteLove your ice cream card! The cols are great and love what you did with the scalloped cloud dies in this card. The paper is a perfect fit too!
