Sparkle Time Challenge

Happy New Year! I hope you all are well rested from the holidays and ready to tackle our January Challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'!

Our theme for this month is ADD SOME SPARKLE ... who doesn't like a bit of bling?

I purchased Frozen Fellowship stamp last year from Newton's Nook Designs and this is the first time using it. The stamp set includes two sentiments, one is above.  It's a fun set and I really enjoyed playing with it.

I colored the image with Copic markers and added some sparkle with my Wink of Stella brush (I hope you can see the sparkle, it is there - promise!).  I stamped the sentiment with white pigment ink and have to admit this was my second go-around as I forgot how long the ink takes to dry.  The background paper is a snowflake design and thought it was a good match for the image.

I plan to make more of these cards, there are so many color combos to use and can be great to use in a pinch.

Now it's your turn to plan and I look forward to seeing all that glitter and bling!

Sparkle and Shine at Creative Knockouts

Challenge time over at Creative Knockouts and our theme is "Sparkle and Shine"!

I chose to work with Dragonfly Flower Doodledallion SET for this challenge.  You have to check this set out!  Along with the digi stamps, you get the colored version as well as different flower designs and sentiments.

I know it doesn't look like it but there is some sparkle and shine on my card, you just have to look closely!  I used clear sparkle embossing power on the blue flower petals and the dragonfly and pulled out my spica pen to trace around the leaves.  Glossy accents was used on the dragonfly for the shine and to top off the sparkle I added clear sparkly background paper.
