Sparkly challenge

Good Sunday morning everyone!! Are you ready for another High Hopes blog challenge?? This week, the FABULOUS Anna is challenging us to use sparkle on our cards!! That's an easy one, especially as we all are in the midst of making Christmas cards! You can use Stickles, glitter, glitter pen, rhinestones....anything that sparkles!! There's another drawing this week....up for grabs is Christmas Kitty Fun and Meowy Christmas! Just post a comment on the High Hopes blog with a link to your sparkly card for your chance to win!!



For my card, I chose to use an older stamp, Charity Winter Angel. I colored her with Prismas & gamsol & added LOTS of Dazzling Diamonds glitter to her wings & the snow on the ground. The dotted paper is from the DCWV Christmas stack from last year. It's a beautiful deep burgundy color, although it doesn't show its gorgeous color in the photo. I also used Fun Flock for the very first time, covering her "fur" on her coat with it. You may have to click on the picture to get a better view of that ~ Fun Flock is not the easiest thing to photograph! I added some glitter to the Primas as well, just in case the glitter on the wings & snow wasn't enough. That's right, I wanted to out-sparkle everyone else!! LOL!! I did some sewing around the card, but please don't look too closely at that!! I finally figured out the perfect tension on my machine, but not until AFTER this card was done so some of the stitches are rather loose. I fixed it best I could, but I knew the more I kept fixing it, the more apt I was so completely ruin it. So it is what it is, not my best but not my worst!!



Please go check out all the other Divas creations on the High Hopes blog. There are some wonderful creations there that makes me just want to sit & create sparkly cards all day. I need to make tons more Christmas cards.....I know some people who are DONE with theirs! I didn't send any out last year so I need to make up for that. I hope you all have a great Sunday!!
