Hi, everyone!  Kelli here today I have another sparkly holiday card to share with you!  I started off with a piece of dark blue card stock and die cut it with the My Favorite Things – Falling Snowflakes die.  You also get all the little snowflake pieces that you can use as confetti in the card or as accents on the card itself.  To get the gold spots on the front I used the Heidi Swapp – Gold Lame Color Shine Spritz.  Instead of spraying it from the bottle I unscrewed the cap and then tapped some of the liquid off of the sprayer tube that was in the bottle.  This gives more of a spotted look rather than an even misting.

I backed the snowflakes with a piece of sparkly silver card stock from my stash.  I am loving sparkles, gold, and silver this season!

I tied some Candy Red Baker’s Twine around the blue and silver card stock and then mounted that whole piece onto a red piece with some dimensional adhesive.  I adhered the red piece directly to the white card base and then added some white gel pen stitch lines around the border.

To finish everything off I added a sentiment from the My Favorite Things – Starry Christmas stamp set.  I’ve said it before, but I really love the images and variety of sentiments you get in this set!

That’s all for this sparkly card!  I really think this layout and color scheme would work well for the 4th of July, too!  I’ll have to keep that in mind for next year.  😉

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!

It’s Michelle and it’s my day to share an inspiration with you!  My card for today uses a Sherri Baldy image called Summer Swing.  My inspiration for you this week to us add lace of some sort to your card.

In the photo you can see how I embellished the lace further with a strip of coordinating designer paper!

The paper collection I used was Howdy Doody from My Mind’s Eye, however you can use a similar color palette with the Sweetest Thing’s Tangerine Collection. The image is colored with Copic Markers.

Michelle here with today’s card featuring a Sherri Baldy My-Besties image called Cakes.    I colored the image with Copic Markers.

I paired the image up with My Mind’s Eye’s Memorable Collection, some Candi Dots and a homemade crocheted flower I’ve been hoarding for a good long while!  I should really crack out the crochet thread this winter….but somehow coloring always wins out! *wink!*

It is fun to spotlight an image with the out-of-the-box technique where you cut around portions of the image around an imaginary *box* that is smaller than your image.  I distressed the edge of my white box on this card.

It’s Michelle here today for MarkerPOP! I have had a crazy week…but I have a few happy little cards to share with you.  Sometimes you need a card quick…and simple is not always bad!

For my first card I used images from Wild Rose Studio.  The image is from CS328 Elsie and Mouse and the sentiment is from CL278 Bella With Bouquet.  This image is colored with waterbased markers/ink pads that were scribbled or dabbed onto acetate.  Then I used a 0 Copic Blender Pen to watercolor the inks onto the image.

And I could not resist making another card with this adorable image from Inky Impressions.

I stamped Sammy Making Snow Angels and colored him with Copic Markers:  R89, R29 R27, E49, E47, E44, W7, W5, W3, BG10.

I added some faux stitching to this image and distressed the edge with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  I flocked the hat and boot trims and added glitter to the snow details.
