Glitter and Sparkle


Hello and welcome. There is a new challenge over at MTTCC (My Time To Craft Christmas) - 
Judith has chosen #20 Glitter and Sparkle. Please pop over for more details and to see the inspiration from the design team. I started with a white 6" sq. card. I matterd with non shed gold glitter card. I matted the main image piece of card onto blue glossy card. The stamp Bubble Christmas Tree by Woodware Stamps, was heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped a greeting with a Crafter's companion stamp. The decorative baubles are a mixture of Card Candi, gemstones, Peel-off waste dots, the large ones were coloured with Sparkle Pens by Crafter's Companions. It took a little patience to decorate the tree, but it was great fun.
