Vellum

Embossing folder-Darice Snowflake folder

Glitter pen-Sakura Gelly Roll clear glitter pen

Snowflakes-Darice foam glitter snowflakes

Gem (on boot)-Darice birthstone gems (clear)

I added the clear glitter pen to the snowflakes on the embossed velum panel (it doesn't show well in the pictures), the glitter foam snowflakes, the gem on the boot and glitter on the DP (Brrrrrr & LET IT SNOW).

When I started coloring the image I didn't like the way it was turning out (I colored the face and hair 3 times).  Even when I was adding the shading on the paper piecing, I wasn't happy.  After I cut out the coat and hat and added it to the image with the rest of the coloring, I was happily surprised with how it looked. I popped up the image on homemade blue foam squares.

Now it's your turn to get your "Glitter" on. Hope you join us for the challenge.

Glitter Squares

It's May! We can finally put winter behind us and get ready for summer.  And summer means "Sunglasses".   So the "Dare To Be Sassy Thursday" challenge (#227) 

at Sassy Studio Designs this week is "So Bright Gotta Wear Shades"- Make it Sparkle and Shine.  The first thing I thought of  was my Glitter tape.  So that's what I used.

I made 3" squares using the glitter tape on card stock. I cut them out with my x-acto.  I added glitter pen to the flowers on the DP, the top of the dress and shoes to add more sparkle.

Hopefully you'll join us at Sassy Studio Designs, and get ready for summer, by creating something that will help you break in your shades.
