CCM #203 Bling’s The Thing

Our first challenge for 2018 over at Crafty Cardmakers is ‘Bling’s The Thing’. We would love to see any project you fancy provided it has lots of lovely bling, so that could be glitter, as I have done, gems, pearls, or any manner of sparkly thing you can think of.

203 Bling's The Thing

I must apologise for the slight blur on my photo. It’s a nightmare trying to get a photograph of glitter/mirri card, and I, of course, combined them both!!!

My die cut is brand new and from Tonic and is called Live the Life You Imagined, which is what I want to do this year with my crafting! In reality of course I’d like Michael Buble to come and whisk me off my feet, but that ain’t gonna happen so I will stick with making sure I craft regularly instead!!! Anyhow enough waffling, I die cut it from turquoise mirri card and stuck it down over silver glitter card. I inlaid/paper pieced seome embossed hot pink mirri card into the flowers, the butterfly’s wing and also picked out the word ‘you’ in the sentiment to make it pop out more.

The whole thing is matted onto more turquoise mirri and a 7” scalloped card.

I need to get the vacuum out now as my carpet is a combination of slivers of pink and turquoise mirri. Very pretty, but don’t want to tread it all around my bungalow.

I am entering this into:-

Alphabet Challenge - U for Use 3 of Something (3 colours)

    I just love this card. The butterfly turned out really cool! I see that you embossed the hot pink paper. It turned out perfect! I love how the lines are perfectly straight. My eye went right to that butterfly!!

    Anyhow . . . Thanks for joining us for our New Year's Resolutions and Goals challenge at Cut it Up! Good luck with your goal!

    This is an awesome card... I do understand how hard it is to get a picture of glitter or mirror-paper! ARGH! Thank you for playing in last weeks challenge, and if you are so inclined, you oughtta make another card similar to this and join at SOS again this week, where we are "Getting Sentimental"-- perfect for this focal die!

    Oh my word, Lin, this is blingtastic! (Do you remember Smashy and Nicey, the DJs from The Harry Enfield Show? 'Blingtastic' is just the kind of thing they'd say! I loved that show!)

    Anyway, I think this is fabulous, the sentiment is inspiring!

    Thanks, also, for joining in at My Time to Craft - you're not on my 'list' but I always feel so pleased when someone I know joins in on one of 'my' Challenges!

    Take care!

    love Mags B x
