This challenge at The House that Stamps Built, was so much fun to create - I love sparkle, bling, shine - glitter, you name it I like it.
Here is my take on this challenge - it has sparkle as well as shine.
I started with selecting my DP which was dragonflies, I cut the DP at an angle and then used narrow glitter washi tape on both sides. Went one step further and tied a pink gold sparkle trimmed ribbon around the middle of the DP. We have such pretty Dragonflies I decided to use 4405-K Dragonfly Deco which I stamped with versamark and embossed the pretty butterfly in Egyptian gold embosing powder which has sparkle in the powder. Now to pick a sentiment - as I sent so many chemo angel cards I chose - 6521-B Have Faith - again stamping with versamark and embossing with Egyptian gold powder. I used a die to cut the sentiment and then cut another one out of gold, cut the gold piece in half and used pop dots to higlight the sentiment. A few pretty sequins and the card is ready - will go out in the mail on Tuesday as we had several special requests this past week.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration and to get you started.

Stunning card Shirley, like your diagonal patterned paper panel and the lovely embossed dragonfly, nice sentiment too!
Hmmm . . . yes, by the title of your blog: "Glittered Paws", I can see that glitter and shine is your thing! Your card is beautiful; such pretty paper and it goes perfectly with the gorgeous embossed dragonfly!
Very pretty! I love the dragonfly and all the gold embossing. It definitely sparkles and shines!
That really is a beautiful dragonfly. They're so delicate and luminous, aren't they? I love the idea of adding strips of washi tape and the ribbon, too. They give your card added interest and dimension.
All things sparkly and shinny...yes please!! The dragonflies work perfectly with your design and a great idea to use for this theme too! The sparkly washi tape really makes this elegant looking too!!
Gorgeous Bling card Shirley..loz
Beautifully done, Shirley. I really really like this one - probably cuz I'm super into dragonflies! Awesome job.
I love sparkle and shine, and here's plenty, but it's not too over the top, your card is beautifully balanced. The dragonfly DP matches the stamp perfectly!
