Sparkle & Bling

I began with a Silver glitter card, surely this is more than enought Sparkle? I created the arrangement with ephemera in an Anna Griffin collection, including the sentiment., which since seeing this photo, I have straightened. it and one of the gems. I added sparkly gold gems, for the Bling, to the centre of the poinsettias. Enjoy your crafting and please stay well and safe. 

Pearly Sparkles - A Shaped Card

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today at Pearly Sparkles our new challenge is #108 A Shaped Card. To see the inspiration from the design team please visit the blog. 

I made my card using the templates, die cuts and papers from a Die Cut Designer Paper Pad - Summer Collection, from Studio Light. I blended the edges of all the card and papers using Distress Inks in the colours of the papers/card. Making this card was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Working out and designing the use of many available die-cuts. A valuable experince ,I recommend for any craft making beginners (I'm not but hey, I enjoyed it).
