MFT - WSC - Glitzy Glitter (03.24.10)

Today's challenge card comes from My Favorite Things. The challenge has three parts:

• Create a custom embellishment using Glitzy Glitter (or glitter of your choosing)

• Feature hand snipped grass

• Use her layout.

Now, I don't know if we had to do ALL of them on one card, but since everyone else did, why stray from the norm?

Here's my result:

I used Pure Innocence - Blooming Good Day for the stamp. The Paper is Thoroughly Modern DSP, and Ribbon, flowers, CS are all SU. The glittered parts are her shoes (a girl has to have gorgeous shoes!), the flower, the grass, and the button on the flower.  I used SU glitter.

 I must say, I was quickly reminded of why I do NOT use glitter very often!  It's now EVERYWHERE!

Oh, I also created my own raindrops, of course with glitter - dazzling diamonds - using Crystal Effects. You can only see 2 because one ended up being covered up by the flower. Oops.

I have to say, this is one of my favorite results, although it's very UN-mailable. I'll save it for a friend here ;)

Thanks for looking!

TMITA Challenge -More Tulips!

This week's TMITA Challenge was a 1-2-3 challenge:

1 - Paper Cupcakes image
2 - Ribbons
3 - Buttons

We can use more than just that, but we had to use at least those items.  Here is my final result!

Even though I won the 2 images last week, I chose to use an image I purchased, because I've been eagerly anticipating our trip to the Tulip Gardens in Holland next month! 

I also chose to use the "SCS Sketch 268" layout because of a WRAK monthly challenge. The other image and the sentiment were given to me by fellow wishRAK members. It was a hard sketch, and I hope I interpreted it well! 

For the TMITA challenge, I found using the buttons difficult.  I don't use buttons often, so they seem very out of place.  Brads, I can handle those. Buttons, not so much! The ribbons are combined at the bottom; one is a white striped sheer, and the other is cranberry colored. 

Did I mention that I also put fresh flowers on my dining room table this week? (Only cost 8 Euro! LOVE the flowers here!) Perhaps that has also inspired my color choice this week. Nah, they're just my fave colors. Even my wedding colors, 12.5 years ago :)

  

 Hope you're having a great weekend!
