Over at the Crafts and Me Challenge this week the topic is "glitter". For those that know me, glitter and I are not a marriage made in heaven but I had to take part as I wanted to use my new Crafts and Me stamp that I got from my eldest son for Mother's day. I have wanted this Jasmine Becket-Griffith stamp called Pink Lightning for a few months now but every time I've gone to order it has been out of stock but I got an e-mail 2 weeks ago to say it was back in and my son was asking what else I wanted for Mother's Day as a punch set he was going to get was out of stock so Pink Lightning came my way along with a set of Sweet Pea stamps or she'd have been lonely!!!
The gingham, scroll and paisley/heart backing paper I got from the Funky Fairy before she shut her webstore down. I chose the bright pinks for a change. I have done some matting and layering and added some pink raffia ribbon to the top layer on both the front of the card and inside. I then cut up some of paisley shapes and placed them around the card inside and out. The image I have coloured with Promarkers and various Sakura Stardust pen including a pink and clear. I didn't have a die-cut shape that she'd fit on without losing a wing or foot so I cut her out, used Tim Holtz's distressing tool and then inked the edges with a Rose Bud Memento ink pad along with edging all the backing papers. I am a bit like Phil from DoCrafts that goes on ideal World/Create and Craft as he inks the edges of his matting and layering as well. The card is then finished off with a sentiment off the computer edged with the Rose Bud Memento ink pad, some flowers, seam binding ribbon bow, doily, gems and a gorgeous glittery butterfly with sparkly gem down the centre.
