In need of a very quick, no layer card Thank you card, I looked thru the CAS forum and found the Clean and Simple challenge of "Show off your bling" (eg: gems, stickles, pearls etc) and thought it would be perfect for using one of my Sizzix Textured Impressions 'Thank You Set' of 4 folders and a bit of glitter glue. The card was really quick and simple and used just one of the folders with my Cuttlebug. I lightly chalked the embossing with my Kaisercraft chalks and added Kindyglitz Crystalina to the flower centres and the 'Thank You' - that's the "blinginess". Lastly, I added a sheer white ribbon. The ribbon knot is held down with a glue dot and I added Fray Stop to the cut edges of the ribbon to prevent it from fraying and spoiling the finish on the card.
It actually took longer to photograph the card than make it because my camera just doesn't like photographing white cards - any other colour is fine. I tried adjusting the "White Balance" setting on the camera, and tried indoors, outdoors, day & night-time, different backgrounds and fiddling with my computer photo program, so sorry for the blrrhh photo - it was the best I could do. Pls feel free to PM me if you can help me :-)
Thanks for the challenge - it was fun and helps me to "grow" as a stamper. And thanks for having a peek at my card.
