What a fun thing to start before work, I probably looked like a cheap floozy with all the glitter on me! Good thing it was cold and my customers stayed inside! BUT....I probably glittered so much that they would have had to put sunglasses on if they looked outside! lol......on to the card....
I took a white cs panel, put tacky tape on in various ways. I even cut out different shapes. Tried to make some circles with the hole punch, but they just stuck to the punch. So, I hand cut a few circles. Put different colors of glitter on my tape by pulling off the red part randomly......except for the one piece I didn't pull off the red part. Now that the card is done, I noticed it. Yikes!
I sponged different blues to make a sky. Then I thought, why cover this up, so I made a little scene on acetate. I stamped the little doggie, colored him a bit too dark using sharpie markers. Then I drew the snow hills and stamped the trees. Put green glitter on the tree bottoms and white glitter for the snow tops. Also added glitter to the bottom of the panel for snow after I had sponged moonlight white.
I just today got this MS fence punch, so just had to use it. Punched the fence, sponged with ginger and added some glitter for snow that didn't show up to well. Glued it to the bottom of the scene. Makes the little doggie look like he is is the yard, don't ya think?! Then I put my acetate scene over my glittered bg by punching holes in the corners and putting brads that I put glue on then dipped in glitter.
Sponged a white card with blue bayou and glued my scene on, then went to get the vacuum! Well.....what do you think?.........TFL :0)
Hi Sis! I got you this punch too! Will mail it soon. :0)

Girl, you're just full of surprises! Nutmeg, this is way over my head. I'm still in the dark trying to figure out your first year months and months ago! This has to be one fabulously glittered card ever. If you think your customers would have needed sunglasses if they looked outside, then I'd have to say this would be today's winner. That's what I think.

You can NEVER have too much glitter!!!!! Love your poor puppy outside trying to pee..... Our goofy dog hates it outside in the winter so much that she will go on the deck just so she dosen't have to walk into the yard....

Gosh, what a cool punch that is.
But actually, what I really wanted to say was I love the way you did your glitter strips - it looks like a light show!
