Hi everyone!! Here is my submission, finally, for today's Color Challenge.
This card took me entirely too long to make. But, it provided some valuable lessons:
1. When working with crystal effects AND glitter, it's probably best to put the glitter on FIRST;
2. Mono Adhesive is pretty sticky stuff. When combined with glitter and crystal effects, it makes a lovely, sparkly coating on the fingertips that will not come off.
3. Said Mono Adhesive smells pretty darn good...what the heck do they put in that stuff?
4. It is darn near impossible to take a decent picture of a card made with Crystal effects...take it from me, this picture was the 17th I took of this card.
I got the fabulous idea to use eyelets for the tires from Mary Jo Albright's blog, Beauty Lies Within.
Anyway, thanks so much for looking...and reading all my babble!!

Okay, you gals are inspiring me to rip out the new striped ribbon and use it. This is another fabulous card done with the red and white striped ribbon. Great looking card!
