Hey friends!! Popping in with a card that I made for the brand new challenge Sparkle and Shine. This new challenge is all about sequins and sparkle... I have lots of sequins so it will be fun to play along with a challenge devoted to them! I'm also posting this to the current Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge... a hint of clover.
For the first Sparkle and Shine challenge we were given a charming little photo of a four leaf clover. I decided to go with a heart since the leaves of a clover are heart shaped. I dug through my extensive collection of wood veneers and found this rectangle with the heart in it. I pressed the piece into green ink (SU!'s Pear Pizzaz) to give it a nice green tint. Then came the hard part... filling up that heart with sequins! Seriously... took me three times before I got the look I was happy with! It is hard to tell, but I used light green sequins for my first layer and then added 4mm clear sequins on top. I'm still not happy with how it turned out... but after three tries I was done, lol! The sentiment and the little clover is from Taylored Expressions. This also works for the current Curtain Call challenge... may pop it in there.
Have a happy day...
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI Fresh Snow Linen CS & kraft; Stamps: Taylored Expressions; Inks: Pear Pizzazz, VersaMark watermark ink; Filigree black embossing powder; Amy Tangerine wood veneer; Sequins: Pretty Pink Posh 4mm clear, Ellen Hutson light green

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Rosie,how clever to use wood ! I must look at that site as I am mad about sequins myself now lol ;) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty, and the sequins came out perfect in my book!
ReplyDeleteHello Rosie,
ReplyDeleteI love this card, the Green pops out in such a warm friendly way. Love the design as well, you continue to inspire and when I see your makes I think I could do this, but it never ever happens, one would think after knowing your work for so long I would have picked up something! Guess what,
I haven't! I am still uncomfortable with negative spaces... do you think there is something wrong with me?
Ha, Have a great day, this is a beautiful card.
