Default card with bling

I am in a monthly card swap and the theme is a card with "bling". Not something I normally would make. Can someone give me some ideas? Thank you.

I'm not normally big on bling either, but you could use Stickles (my fav!) or rhinestones. I have coloured fish in brighter/deeper colours then added Stickles and it really looks great! Good luck with your swap!

I like to use the Stampin' Up! rhinestone jewels for bling. And for my stampers, when they are first diving into bling, I recommend using several of these either to spotlight a stamped image, or to enhance it. (so either bling all the way around it on all over the top of it.)

Hope that helps!

If you use a scalloped Nestabilities die or something like that, you can add a little gem on each scallop.

Oh boy bling is my favorite embellie!! Lots of great rhinestones elements out there and some pretty glitter! Start checking around the gallery and I'm sure you'll find lots of bling!! Start in the Hope You Can Cling To gallery for Bling Your Cling - lots of it there!

Glitter, rhinestones, glimmer mists, perfect pearls all add sparkle and shine to your "bling" projects. I am not sure what your card is going to be, but female images are easy to bling up...
