You'd think that I would learn. I hostess for VSN and come up with these great challenge ideas...then I have to actually DO the challenge. And it never fails that it's one that is outside my comfort zone.
Well, I did it again. Sparkle is outside my comfort zone. I have rhinestones...hoarded ones. I have sparkly embossing powder...it's been around forever. I have sparkly spritz sprays. I have sparkly paper. Yes, I use them...occasionally...and in small amounts.
Then one of my wonderful Punchkateer buddies sent me this lovely blue rhinestone spray. I thought, "oooh, this is pretty...but will I ever use it?" I know she was just trying to get me out of my box...right???!
So, I used the spray. Hooray! And my card really sparkles. Love it!
And even though I didn't use punches or dies, I did a bunch of hand cutting so my PT is 7.
