Sparkle, Sparkle!

Hello, and welcome!

I hope it's a bit warmer where you are!

Usually, at this time of year, we have all the doors and windows open, so that we can enjoy the gardens and the warmth and brightness of the sunshine.  Lookin' out of my tightly-closed window right now, the wind is blowin' a flippin' gale, the trees are bending sideways, and it's freezing..........spring-time in England....haaa!

Hope the weather gets better for when we go to Cornwall, this time next week......it's usually lovely, but ya never know!

Well, it's time to invite you to have a go at another challenge at 

CARD CRAFTER'S CIRCLE

and this week we want to see all your lovely creations that 

SPARKLE, SPARKLE

We are sponsored by the fabby

and Linnie is giving 2 sheets of her lovely digi stamps to our randomly chosen winner, this week!

Our Design Team created some absolutely gorgeous cards, and you'll find loads of inspiration if you pop over to the challenge blog to drool over 'em....haaaa!

Here's mine.....

I used two kinds of embossed scrolls paper (cream with white scrolls, and pink with gold scrolls) from Craftwork Cards, using a border punch to cut lacy borders from them, and then layered 'em up onto a white card base that I'd scored into a tent-fold.......

Believe it or not, this little lady is glittered to the nines, but I'm rubbish at takin' the photos......hangin' head in shame......but she's a darling. don't you think?

I used a Nestie label die to cut her out, and shaded just inside the embossed edge with a little pink chalk......of course, she's coloured up with Promarkers.......

I like the way the sentiment is shaded.......I have a sheet of these in different colours, but can't remember where I bought them, or I'd go get some more........brain cells have been on holiday for the longest time, so don't expect 'em back ....haaa!

The brown leaves are cut from some small pieces of wood veneer that I bought yonks ago, and have never found a use for.....now I have!

 

I cut a corner with a Martha's punch and layered a couple of Prima flowers with Card Candi.......they just had to be splodged with sparkly Mod Podge, now didn't they?

Three more pieces of Card Candi finish off my Sparkle, Sparkle card!

Over to you.....come on, you know you want to!

Hugs,
