SHOPPING OUR STASH #285 - Stickle Me Elmo



Hello friends and happy Tuesday! We have a new challenge starting today at SHOPPING OUR STASH! As our prompt suggests, we want to see Stickles, or a similar product, on your cards or projects. Here's my card:


 ...and the inside:

This card turned out totally different than how I first imagined it. I wanted to put a sentiment banner between the two groups of flowers, but I realized I left too much white space at the top of the panel. This also wasn't supposed to have bees on it. The bee under the word wishes is hiding an ink smudge. I couldn't have just one bee, so I stuck two more on it. Happy accidents, because I really like how it turned out. I used Star Dust Stickles and traced around the roses. the leaf veins, and the largest dot on the dot trio stamp. Even the bees came with glittery bodies! Bonus!

Now it's your turn to break out those neglected bottles of Stickles, Wink of Stella pens, SN Sparkle pens, or any kind of glitter glue, and create something with them! Don't forget to link up at Shopping Our Stash so we can admire it. For even more inspiration, check out what my teammies came up with and leave some love on their blogs. I'd also like to welcome our Guest Designer, Marina! I'm looking forward to crafting with you this month! 

Thanks for visiting. Now go forth and create something fun and sparkly!

Just a reminder: We are looking for Guest Designers! If you'd like to be considered for February GD, simply leave a 'DT' after your name when you link up! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

  8. One of *those* projects, huh? I really like it, and think the bees look meant-to-bee (ahaha... get me some coffee) with the bold black sentiment and border. I almost didn't notice the ghost rose inside... wonderful, inside and out.
