JUST US GIRLS #282 - Photo Week!



Good morning crafty peeps! It's Photo Week at JUST US GIRLS! Vicki is your hostess this week and she picked out this gorgeous picture - oh the possibilities! Here's the card I made:


So, I got all glittery with this one. Plus I used some stamps that have never seen ink before. Yay me! Those pennants are actually shaped foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. I simply sprinkled glitter over them and burnished with my finger. For the striped panel, I covered it in double sided tape, then peeling off every other strip, sprinkled one color of glitter over it. After burnishing with my finger, I tapped off the excess glitter and put it back into it's container. I repeated this for the second glitter color. The jar was from a set that I've never opened up until now, the coin was also inked for the first time (NBUS!) The sentiment was first stamped with VersaMark, then Mowed Lawn and heat embossed using clear embossing powder. 

Look at all the shiny and sparkly!! 

With St. Paddy's Day approaching, why not make a card or project inspired by this picture and join us at Just Us Girls?! While there, please check out the amazing creations that my teammates, and our February Guest Designer, Stephanie, have made.

    I love all of that sparkle! Brilliant use of the adhesive foam squares, something I never thought to do. Love that jar with the coins and the glittered stripes.

    I can't believe we were on the same waive length with our cards this week. The glittery bands I did the same thing lol the blingy flags and the gold jar ... Great minds think alike. Love your version of Vicky's awesome inspirational photo. So much to look at and be inspired by.

    Ooh, love all the glittery goodness on here, Chris! And embossed gold, too! Love how you made the stripes on that background piece. That was sure a labor of love! And the mason jar full of coins is absolutely adorable!
