Playing with Bling

I decided to play along with a couple of challenges on today’s card. I used the color challenge at the Picture Perfect Creations blog. The colors were black, white, Bashful Blue, and Rose Red. I wanted to play with Bring on the Bling Challenge at Late Night Stampers yahoo group. You were to add bling to your card with glitter, rhinestone brads, or any other thing that would be considered bling. I chose to use glitter.

I have been playing with this idea all week and finally got a chance to see how it would look. I used sticky tape to add white glitter down the card. Since I chose to use Kraft for my cardstock base, the white doesn’t show up too well. I then added a strip of black glitter across the bottom. I then used the Great Friend set and stamped Bashful Blue and Rose Red to stamp butterflies which I cut out and using my 2 way glue stick added Dazzling Diamonds. The rest of the card is pretty self explanatory. Here is my creation.

I have a second card for you today. I played along with the color challenge at the Cards & Things blog. The challenge was to use Bordering Blue, Elegant Eggplant, and Mellow Moss. I went looking for a stamp set I hadn’t used in a while and ran across Eastern Blooms and decided to use it for this challenge. I stamped the background and then used a glitter pen to add some bling (doesn’t show up in this picture). I used markers to color the twig. Decided to use my slot punch and wrap my ribbon around the image layer. The only thing left was to add my sentiment. Here is my creation.
