The dirt. The frogs. The worms. The daredevil acts. I must have been blessed with two boys for a reason. And that is so I do not have the need to break out glitter often! However, every now and then, I conquer the fear of getting glitter everywhere (literally) to try a new technique or "just because".
Off the Wall Craftiness has an amazing array of colors, glitz and glam for her newest challenge and I decided to dust off the bottle of glitter and try my hand at ebmbellishing embellishments and stretch my color boundaries. I heat embossed in black the background and sentiment, added some black satin ribbon and topped it off with a layer of Prima Flowers. To add some glitz and glam, I glittered up a decorative and stick pin with silver glitter and attached them to the flowers along with a regular straight pin.

Oooohhhhh....good for you for breaking out the glitter...personally I love the stuff and it isn't uncommon for my kids or my man to mention that I have some on my face...LOL. I love your card...that seafoam green cardstock is absolutely stunning with the black and glitter:)
ReplyDeleteLove love love glitter! You know me I glitter lots of stuff! Especially wood!
ReplyDeleteGlorious glitter (just not when it's spilled!!).Love this card and you certainly use the Practicing Creativity background stamp so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Amy...the seafoam is fabulous. And I like glitter in small quatities. I have to be careful when I play with the stuff though because my daughter will end up wanting to play along with very messy results.

This is just fabulous. I love those colors I am going to have to try and find time to play!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I'm digging that pattern from the dots stamp set- you are really showing off it's value! I love the glittered pin- did you get it all over you? *giggle* I think my husband has a glitter phobia- he gets very worried when I've been knee deep that I'll let him go to work with glitter all over!
