Shopping Our Stash SOSC 34: All that Glitter Sparkles, or Shines
I have to make a quik edit this mid day--I guess I was more tired than I thought last night because I left off the Shopping Our Stash challenge and that was why I added the Dazzling Details to the chip board letters so they would shine and sparkle for their challenge. Hope you gals don't consider this back linking just an old lady blunder.
I've got a 5 1/4" square card for my closing project tonight.
I started with the sketch from Card Patterns and decided to pair it with the CAS-ual Fridays and Mark's Finest Papers challenges because I immediately thought of my favorite button brads and the sketch had 2 dots in the left hand corners so it was a perfect placement for eyelets. Instead of either or, I chose both.
This was an easy one. After I got the card set up with the 2 mats, added the eyelets, the ribbon, and brads, it was just a matter of covering the chip board letters with designer paper,cutting off the extra bits and filing around the edges to smooth out the roughness. I went around the edges with a Sharpie White Paint Pen to give them some depth, then for the final touch I spread some Dazzling Details over the letters for just the right amount of sparkle. Hope you can see it when you click on the picture to make it bigger.
Hope you've had a great Tuesday--
Happy Creating--
