Card
I stamped the image (unknown source) in black stayzon on to acetate, then highlighted the feather with currant alcohol ink. I covered the back of the acetate with clear glitter glue then mounted this on to tan card then layered onto gold card. I covered the base with Crafty Individuals backing papers and highlighted the white flowers with glitter glue. Lastly I mounted the image on to the top left of the base then added 3 bronze gems to finish.
~~~~~~~~~




4x4
I used dark & pale pink cardstock, pink primas & white buttons. The ribbons I used are by creative impressions and the paper is MME Valentine - Cupid's Toile and I used a vintage image. I stamped onto pink paper with my paper artsy words stamp and added lots of sparkle with my silver stickles.
~~~~~~~~~~~




Card
For my card I have painted a piece of white card with Ecoline inks in three colours. Once dry I have sprayed with black webbing spray and while this was still wet I have added some black sparkling embossing powder in places and heat embossed. The bird is a Cornish Heritage Farm stamp and I have water coloured the image. I have then covered the piece in embossing ink and added some clear, super sparkle embossing powder and heat embossed. I have embellished with a piece of cuttlebug embossing, added silver eyelets and through this have threaded some shiny silver thread. The image is mounted 3D and I have popped three gems into the corner. Plenty of sparkle!

Card
I stamped the Penny Black image 'Light the Night' and coloured in with twinkling H20s. I then added sparkly purple glitter to the scarf, bag, dress and flowers. I also added some sparkly silver sequins to the bottom of the card to create even more sparkle! I finally added some messages and flowers for decoration.
~~~~~~~~~~




Card
I stamped a Cuddly Buddly Emmy image and used glitter glue, glitter Sakura pen and pearly watercolour to colour her in! I matted her onto hologram fuschia pink card, and matted the heart paper onto pink glitter card. The I cut some flowers with my Big Shot out of the fuschia hologram, and used stickles for the centres!
~~~~~~~~~~





Card
I used my cricut to cut the word and the image of me!! Then I added lots of sparkle with gem jewellery. I mounted the girl on brown glitter card for added extra sparkle. Hey presto a really sparkly glittery shiny card !
