Glitter, Bling, Sparkle... Oh yes, I love it all! In my little world, sparkle is a bit like bacon... everything is just better with it :) Luckily, this week, Simon asked me to play with my bling. I hope you will too. After all, there is a $50 gift card to simonsaysstamp.com up for grabs! Head on over to Simon Says Stamp and Show for all the details.
So, what did I do with sparkle this week? Well, I pretty much found every little bit of what I had and stuck it on my layout. Let's see how that came together, shall we?
With my photo at the ready and some gorgeous papers from Basic Grey, I am set...
Set to scrap!
After my strips of patterned paper are down, I bit of adhesive tape is applied in strips:
Likey so:
And then, some glitter is smooshed on. Now, I realize that many of you are getting a bit twitchy just looking at this glittery mess... However, I promise it is not too bad! With the adhesive tape grabbing most of it, the rest is just dusted off and it's no biggie...
See? Pretty!
A soft bristle paint brush helps get any remaining flecks off of my photo:
Now, we fussy cut!
And place it about:
Coming together...
Stickle time!
Squeezed out in glittery little lines:
A bit of title work:
And some pen work:
Oh, and we mustn't forget the sequins!
Ooooooh, pretty!
Lots of glittery goodness!
And there we have it...
In Flight! I love how the sparkly page echoes the sparkly light in this sweet photo:
Too much sparkle? Nah, there is no such thing!
So, get some sparkly action going in your crafty life this week and link up with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. I can't wait to see what you make!
