I took a tour of my stash, and created a card for this challenge.

I used metallic paper and bling to "Make It Sparkle".

SUPPLIES AND TECHNIQUES

I took a deep breath and then plunged into my stash to pick out some  supplies for the card. (see picture to left)

I have a package of AC PAPER that I love because it

is metallic and so  I used the metallic teal colour

because it sparkles in any light.

I have some Maya Road chipboard pieces that I love.

A while ago, I bought some Recollections embellishment packages that I knew would be perfect for making a card or two. I decided it was time to use them.

A 9 X 10 inch piece of white paper (folded in half and
used as the base for the card)  and

miscellaneous ribbon rounded out the list of supplies.

I selected  pieces (see picture to left)
from the embellishment package to use
to create the card.

The dress form did not match the
card stock...
So I put gesso on it to cover up the
chipboard, and then  a layer
of Golden acrylic paint (teal).
This is a great way to obtain embellishments
that will match your colour scheme.

I put the bling in the middle of the flower
and on the card stock.

I used the twine as a belt for the dress form
and twisted the ends into a rosette shape.



SUPPLIES (CONTINUED)

misc.  glue, double-sided tape


At times, we feel as though it is too difficult to cut into
a piece of our favourite paper, or use a cherished embellishment,
but if we create something with it....it may become more meaningful.

BE BRAVE...USE YOUR STASH
