New Challenge #168 at Glitter N Sparkle

Merry Christmas,

and a Happy New Year to you all.

This will be the last Post I do for Glitter 'N' Sparkle this year,
as we are all taking a well deserved break over the Xmas Holidays.
So I wish you all the very best over this holiday season.

I will be back in 2016 with a New Challenge
and some good news!

The Theme at

Glitter n Sparkle is:-

GLITTERY, SPARKLY CHRISTMAS

Our Sponsors this week are:-

Sami Stamps who are offering

a $12 Gift Certificate for their store.

Cute As A Button who are offering

2 Images from their store

My Project this

week is:-

Curious Gifts Digi Stamp

from Sami Stamps

(One of our sponsors)

To begin with I used an A4 Sheet of Dark Green Card

(stash)

which I then folded in half to make the Base Card.
Next I matte and layered it using 
Red Glitter Card
(The Range)

Next I printed off the Image

on White DC Paper

And coloured it in using my Promarker Pens.

Putty

Lipstick Red

Berry Red

Ruby

Crimson

Meadow Green

Grass

Pine
Sandstone
Caramel

Warm Grey 1
Ice Grey 3
Black

Next I die-Cut the Image out using
the large Ornate Frame
(X-Cut - SCU503043)
To make it 'Sparkle' I added
Xmas Green and Xmas Red Glitter
(Glitter Magic)
to the Ribbons.
I didn't think it was enough so I then added
Holographic Embossing Powder
(Papermania)
to the Presents and Paper.
I think it slightly changed the colour of the Glitter 
that was already on when I added the heat oops!
Note to self always add the loose glitter last.

I used a strip of 6cm Sparkly Red/Green/Gold Striped Ribbon
(Boyes Haberdashery)
and wrapped it around the corner of the Red Card Layer,
so that It looked like a Wrapped Present.

Next I  Die-cut out my Sentiment
Using a scrap of Dark Green Card
using the Merry Christmas Die
(Creative Dies)

Finally to the Bottom Left Corner of the Image
I added a 2cm Red Rhinestone Flower

(which I found in my Gems Stash - so not sure where they came from)

and to that I added 6 2mm Green Rhinestones

(stash)

New Challenge #167 at Glitter 'N' Sparkle

Well hello there,

It has been a hectic fortnight,
hence the lack of posts and this one is also Late.
Been cramming for my Exam which is later on today
(fingers crossed).

I also had my middle Sisters Baby Shower on Sunday,
which went amazingly,
probably down to my little Sisters brilliant planning
and organizational Skills.
hopefully it will only be a month and a bit
then I can say 'Hello' to my new Niece.

My Project for

this Challenge is:-

Xmas Santa Digi Stamp

To begin with I used a Pre-cut 3 Panel Screen White Card

(stash)

from which I cut out a 'Window' 

from the middle of the Middle Panel.

I then shaded the White Card face in with

swirls of Dark Blue, Light Blue and Mid Grey Chalk

(Decorative Pastel Chalks - Dovecraft)

to give it a Marble Effect.

And using Pastel Blue Mica Powder

(from my tester pot)

I buffed over the whole of the Card to give it a sheen.

Next I printed off the Image

on White DC Paper

And coloured it in using my Promarker Pens:

Satin

Blush

Putty

Buttercup

Cool Aqua

Duck Egg

Pastel Blue

Denim Blue

Cyan

Aegean

Blue Pearl

Cornflower

China Blue

Artic Blue

Sky Blue

Powder Blue

Azure

Royal Blue

Ice Grey 1

Ice Grey 2

Ice Grey 3

Ice Grey 4

Ice Grey 5

Metallic Silver

I then cut it so that it would fit inside the

'Window of the base card.

You can't see it very well in the photos,

but I then added lots of Embossing Powder with Watermark Ink 

(Versamark) 

and Glitter. 

To start I used Vanilla Sparkle Embossing Powder 

on the 2 Teddies. 

Then I used Sparkling Snow Embossing Powder 

on the White parts of Santa's Suit. 

Silver Bells Embossing Powder 

on the Big Present Bows 

(all WOW! Embossing Powders) 

For the Ground I used 

Seafoam White Embossing Powder. 

And on the Sack I used 

Holographic Embossing Powder.

(both Papermania) 

I also added some Holographic Silver Glitter 

(Glitter Magic) 

to the Belt for the Sack, Buttons, 

Waist Belt, Boot Buckles. 

I went around the 'Window Frame' with 

2mm Plain Silver Peel-off Strips. 

Then I went around the outside of the Card with 

1mm Bobbled silver Peel-off Strips.

I also use a Holographic Silver

'Happy Christmas' Peel-off for my Sentiment

(all from my stash)

I used the scraps of White Paper from the Image

and I Die-Cut out 2 Snowflake Shapes

(Marianne Designs)
I coloured the larger one in using

the Arctic Blue Promarker.

and then used the Holographic Embossing Powder

on both of them to make them Sparkle.

I then made a Bow using

1cm Cyan Blue Organza

(Boyes Haberdashery)

and I placed the Snowflakes on top of the Bow.

Across the Bottom of the Card I used a strip of

Silver Tree and Snowflake Boarder Ribbon

(Boyes Haberdashery)

that I had in My Scrap Box.

Finally I added the Pearls,

I used 6x Light Blue Pearls 4mm and 1x Mid Blue Pearl 4mm

on the Snowflakes.

4x Light Blue Pearls 4mm and 2x Mid Blue Pearls 4mm

on the Silver Ribbon

(it had holes where the Pearls are)

I used 11x White Seed Pearls 2mm for all of the Holly Berries

on the Digi Image.

I also used 3x Blue Pearl Stars 10mm,

to look like Stars in the Sky.

(All Pearls from my stash)
