It's time for another High Hopes Blog Challenge. This week is brought to us by Anna Write and the challenge is "Sparklemania"!! Add some bling to you cards!
I am late with my card, but I finally finished it. I used Amy Rysavy's Friday Sketch #36 for the layout. I love using sketches...because someone else does half the work for you!! Thanks, Amy! I've been wanting to play along with her Friday Sketches, but I usually don't have too much stamping time on the weekend. Since I was behind this week, I was able to use it for this challenge.
Man is it hard to get all that sparkle to show up in a photo!! Basically, the bubbles, the circles, and the blue mat has Stickles all over. I also added some to the sentiment and the ribbon has silver running through it.
The adorable image I used is from the newest release called "Burt's Bath" and the sentiment is also from this release, but for some reason I can not find it on the website with the rest of the release, but I found it here.
Here is a close up of the image...
For the rest of the card, I used some ribbon I found at A.C. Moore, SU Brilliant Blue Card Stock for the card base (5.5" x 5.5"), and My Mind's Eye "Everyday Tango" paper pack. I created glitter buttons by cutting out a few circles from the DP, gluing them to Thin Coaster (from All That Scraps), adding Stickles (also from All That Scraps) and mounting them on dimensionals.
I also added some sewing. Therefore, the inside looked horrible...
So I decided to cover it with some more My Mind's Eye Paper...
Now it's your turn...go make a card with TONS of sparkle!! Use HH stamps if you have them, if not, it's still ok. They are giving away some more free stamps to someone who participates with the challenge this week. So, make sure you link your project to this post on the HH Blog. And if you upload your card to any public galleries, use Keyword HHC7.
Have a glitter filled week! Thanks for stopping by!
