Christmas Sparkle!

Good morning peeps!

Today's card is my GDT card for the 2 Sisters Challenge Blog!

The theme is Christmas Sparkle.

My card has lots of sparkle but I'm not so sure you can see it in the photos!

I used an A6 Kraft base & the DPs are Papermania  Festive Frolics

The Bauble Paper is glittered!

I matted the DP on red paper & the image on mirror card then red paper.

The sentiment was created on my pc.

I wrapped with two colours of bakers twine  & tied a bow!

I wanted to give this card a funky kind of feel!

The image I have used is Bark At The Moon from Stitchy Bear Stamps

I love this image! 

I highlighted some of the shaded areas with flexmarkers 

but I guess you could use the image just as it comes

My family have had Huskies for many years & have spent many a 

cold winters day at rallies with racing teams!

I was hoping you could see the sparkle done with a 

Sakura Clear Star pen a bit clearer in this photo!

My sentiment!

The inside of the card.

Thanks for looking, I hope you like my little card!

Happy Thursday peeps!

Here's a little card I made using a Just Inklined image!

It's such fun!

I made an easel card!

The design paper I've used is a free download by

Marisa Lerin over at Pixel Scrapper

I've distressed the edges with scissors & then an chalk inkpad.

The image I have used is Fairy Grand Ma

Isn't she just so cute? Everyone should have one! lol

I coloured her up with my Promarkers & Flexmarkers then
added some sparkle with a Sakura Clear Star pen!
I love that pen! Glitter without the fuss! lol

I cut out the image with an oval Nestie then distressed the edges

& matted her onto a scallop oval of pink paper.

I added a DP Panel where the pink paper was punched with 

a Martha Stewart Pine Needles border punch & added some pink 

spotty ribbon which is Papermania I think.
It's been in my stash since last year.

 For the base section of the easel, I mirrored the layout

but added a sentiment which I made on my pc & cut out

with a Sizzix Label die. I added a little more ribbon & a couple of buttons

Hope you like it!

I added some little star buttons from my stash, added a peel off

sentiment & tied some bakers twine around the top, finishing with a little bow!

 #198 Add Some Glitter

Here's my creation!

I had a lot of fun making this one! I'm finally beginning to unearth some of 

my bits & pieces that have been stored in boxes for the last few months!

For the base card, I used kraft card-stock from Southfield Stationers

The DP's are from my stash & I have no idea where they are from

I may have got them in a goodie bag or in a blog candy, who knows!

The bauble paper is glittered but I'm not sure you can see it in the photo!

The image I have used is Christmas Ted Bringing Home Christmas tree

I coloured it up with Flexmarkers the cut out with an oval Nestie.

I added some Diamond Sparkles Glitter. I then matted the image

onto a scalloped oval nestie. 

I added a greeting which I printed out  & matted on to the green paper.

The magic mesh was from a crafty goodie bag.

I used some twine & added some little bells. from Meiflower

I decorated the inside of the card,  using the green paper with the negative cut out of the

scalloped circle die & some white paper behind. I then added some DP scraps.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my creation!
