Bride with Shine

Hello!  Today I have been playing with shine and glitter on a Wedding card.  It is sooo hard to show the results in a photo so I have shared 2 photos of the card so that hopefully you will see the shine achieved with Sakura Stardust and Wink of Stella Pens.  More shine and shimmer is included in the Gold Shimmer CS by DCWV and the Metallic Gold Bells cut with the Cameo.  I was inspired by several challenges in the making of this card using a Digi Image from A Day for Daisies. The digi was printed on GKD heavyweight CS.
Other Supplies: White CS, Metallic Gold CS, Rhinestones, Pilot Gold Metallic Marker, Embossing Folder, New Epson Printer

Challenges:
A Day for Daisies: Challenge #150 Add Glitter.  Used glitter pens and rhinestones as well as the shimmer and metallic CS with Wedding Veil digi.
Sketch Saturday: Sketch # 417 below
Cards in Envy: It's a great day for a White Wedding or Anniversary Card. Card is flat enough for a A2 envelope.
Shopping Our Stash: #257 Use a Dress or Dress Form.  Use a ADFD Digital image from my stash of images and also the bell file from my Silhouette files.  Also used rhinestones and CS from my stash.
Mod Squad Challenge: All That Glitters.  Missed last week's Wedded Bliss challenge but used that theme with my glitter this week.  Lot of glitter on the wedding dress.
Simon Wednesday Challenge: Simon says Add some Shimmer.  And my card shimmers in the cardstock and on the dress.
Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 431 Wedding/Anniversary

Note: I have a new Epson printer because my HP printer quit feeding heavier paper and struggles to print even after I cleaned the rollers and other maintenance.  For my birthday, I asked for Epson SureColor P400 which I can say is a dream printer for a crafter.  And my DH made my birthday wish come true.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Let's Catch Some Lighting Bugs

Hello!  Do you remember catching lighting bugs in a jar when you were a kid? I do.... many years ago.  It was a fun thing to do on a summer night after dark.  I doubt if kids do that activity now. 
I have had  the Summer Series Stamps by Repeat Impressions for awhile but never inked the jar and bugs.  I thought this challenge sketch was a perfect time to make a buggy card. Added some sparkle with a Clear Star pen on the wings and in the jar and a bit of Gold Glitter CS and some rhinestones.

Challenge:
What If? Wednesday: Sketch #J2514
Simon Wednesday: Anything Goes
Fussy and Fancy Friday: Theme is Summertime
Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions Jar, Bug, and Sentiment from Summer Series
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Distress Ink Wild Honey
Copics: Y000,11,13
Clearstar pen, Silver Metallic Pen
Papers: Bright Yellow, Black, White and Gold Glitter CS
Rhinestones recycled from a dress

I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa

A Pot Full of Love and Heart

Hello! Welcome.  It has been awhile since I have made cards and posted one.  Today I am sharing one that I made a several days ago but never posted.  I used Kraft card stock for the base card and added a layer of pattern paper (Forgot source) I stamped a pot of hearts with a stamp from Flourishes on a square of Kraft paper with Memento Rich Cocoa.  I colored the image with Copics, Red Pencils, red glitter glue, and red and pink stickles.  After rounding the corners with a corner punch, I attached the image and added red satin and organdy ribbon and a heart cutout covered with red glitter glue.  Hope some of the shiny elements show through on the photo. There are several valentine and heart challenges that I can enter this card.
Challenges:
Simon Says: Get Krafty
Papertake Weekly: Theme is With Heart
Shopping Our Stash: Use something shiny...I have shiny stickles and glitter glue and more on my card
Oldie But a Goodie: Theme is Valentine----used stamp and ribbon that is old as well as stickles and glitter
Sweet Stamps Challenge: Love

I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa
