What’s the challenge today? Glitter!
Yes, please! I recently bought some Glitter Ritz Microfine glitter. It makes this fabulous smooth velvety glitter finish. But I had to watch some Youtube videos first. I don’t have the adhesive sheet that she used in the video. I have Stick-It adhesive, which is the same idea, but different enough that I had a problem. That problem is that the Stick-It has lines cut through the backing to make it easier to peel off. However, as you can see in this photo, it leaves behind a break in the adhesive.
So I had to completely change my plan for this card. I had originally planned to glitter up this design of this Picket Fence Studios die and kind of frame it and let it be the star of my card. I pretty much always make two cards at a time, so I had one with the “Blush” color in the background and one with the “Sahara” color in the background. But since I couldn’t solve the problem of that break in the adhesive, I only made one card today. I die cut the best parts with my Waffle Flower nesting hearts dies.
So I stamped and fussy cut this adorable Art Impressions frog that I won in their December Challenge. Now what? More glitter! I wanted to frame the hearts and frog, and I had this leftover gold frame die cut close by. I stamped the script in the background of the frame and embossed with iridescent embossing powder. Needs more glitter. So I die cut a Hello (from PTI) in glitter fun foam. Needs….more glitter! Stickles on the frog and flower. And how about some Wink of Stella on the stem and leaf for good measure? Look at that sparkle!
That itty bitty frog and that itty bitty microfine glitter needs to be entered into the Art Impressions Itty Bitty Challenge don’t you think?
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Today’s challenge is Graduation/Congratulations. I do need a graduation card, but I needed a Congratulations card more. My nephew got engaged this week!
