| So what does this say about someone who has cat hair AND real glitter all over???? Ha! |
Hi, Friends.....
I am here with a sparkly valentine to share with you. Do you recognize this background as very similar one to what I used for my Mixed Media Valentine??? This one also has hearts punched from scraps and dry embossing with the Darice - Ranunculus folder, and sponged with Distress Ink in Fired Brick.
This time, instead of using heat embossing, I was inspired by this fun idea I saw on a YouTube from Unity about making a glittery edge. I laid down a border of Glossy Accents and sprinkled the Bronze Glass Glitter from the Stampendous Encrusted Jewels Frantage Kit - Bronze over it. (I don't use my poor neglected Frantage kits nearly often enough. I really love them, but seem to use other things.) Next, I added a few more dots of GA here and there and sprinkled on some thrift store black heart confetti. I love the gorgeous sparkle under the hearts!!!
I used more of my delicious black velvet ribbon and......I just noticed....I am really liking diagonals lately! Hmmm....not sure what got me started on those. lol....
I added another focal piece "thing" that came with the red "thing" in my last project. I don't know what you call these things!!! Ha. I don't think I have any of these things left....so I probably will discover their real name now!
I layered up some Prima flowers and attached a Quick Quotes brad in their antique color. (Thanks, QQ!!!) Then I matted the panel with black cardstock and mounted everything on a shimmery charcoal card base.
Hope you like my card. Thank you for stopping by!!!
