This is for today's challenge to use tacky tape and glitter! I was very excited to see the challenge before I went to work today, and my wheels were turning all day long! I drew up sketches, came up with colour combos, blah, blah, blah! Well, let me tell you, I have been at various versions for the past 4 hours!!!!! None of which came to fruition, urgh! I finally decided on this design, which by the way, is NOTHING like I had envisioned!!! I was finally happy enough to upload it and proceeded to take a gazillion photos, none of which capture the true essence of my card! I have too much time invested not to upload, so I am going ahead with this! Lynn, this truly was a challenge and I have glitter EVERYWHERE, lol! Thanks for the challenge and thanks for looking and letting me vent Ah, I feel better. Now I better go and get my kids some dinner, yikes!!
I used a new stamp set that I got on clearance from Michaels by Amy Butler. I also ran the sweet blush cs through my xyron and then punched the flower and butterfly out and applied glitter. The card base was already embossed and it came in a pack from Michaels, also on clearance. My card measures 5 1/2 X 5 1/2

It was well worth the all day creating. Super sparkle. Love the flower and the way you added the ribbon. Ahhhh now you can relax. For me it is usually not being able to sleep when thinking about cards. What we do for stamping...

I can relate!! More often than not my great idea goes completely wrong, and I end up with something else entirely!!! But your end result is beautiful!! tfs
