How about a bit of Sparkle?!

 The new challenge at TRY IT ON TUESDAY is called 'SPARKLE ALL THE WAY', so we want to see lots of blingy creations this time round!


I had a bit of fun with some sequins.... especially when I knocked the tub onto the floor πŸ™ˆπŸ˜€

I'm conscious that Christmas now is not too far away so I have been busy with cards and other things.

I used a Penny Black stamp for this card which I have had for several years and every Christmas it gets an airing in one form or another!

This time I gold embossed it and then blended Picked Raspberry over it.
Nuvo Gold and Diamond sequins randomly placed, a gold stamped sentiment (also Penny Black) and finished.

I made a couple of these as it was really quick to do (apart from the half hour collecting the sequins from off the floor....) and the 3 hours that I spent trying to get a decent pic! (Well not 3 hours but a long time anyway!)
Trying to photo sparkles is not a job I would want full time!

Hope you will pop over to the blog and see the rest of the DT's creations and that you'll join us for this challenge - after all what is life without bling?! πŸ’Ž x

You've done a grand job of photographing the sparkle on this lovely card. I guess if photography was your full time job you'd have all the proper 'gear' and it would be a quick and simple task 🀣

A beautiful card Viv and image. I had a smile at you spilling the sequins, that would be a usual outcome for me as well.
