Sparkle and Shine - The House that Stamps Built

 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 it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of sparkle and shine .   So many possibilities on this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do  you will have two chances to win a $25 gift certificate towards stamps. using the challenge sparkle and shine.

  4. 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.
