Second card for CCAYR mid-month inspiration

This is my second design card for the CCAYR design team mid-month inspiration for the August challenge with the theme Sparkle & Shine - simply create a card that has glitter, sparkle, gems, pearls etc.

I decided to make this an almost one layer card by stamping directly on to the card blank using an Anna Griffin stamp inked with memento tuxedo black. The glittered purple card is an offcut. Ribbon is Papermania and the purple spacers are Prima.

CCAYR mid-month inspiration

It's already mid-month and an opportunity for the CCAYR design team to show some more inspiration for the August challenge with the theme Sparkle & Shine - simply create a card that has glitter, sparkle, gems, pearls etc.

This is my first mid-month design card using an offcut of silver mirror card that was embossed with the folder that came with my eBosser, with another offcut of some crinkled shiny card that I've had for ages, with a piece of glittered ribbon to cover the join. I used another snippet of the crinkled card to back the sentiment. The glittered baubles with gems were from Poundland from last year.

Sweet pea stampers: embossing

This is my design card for the Sweet pea stampers 'embossing' challenge - wet or dry. I've included some dry embossing achieved with an Embossalicious folder with my eBosser - a snippet piece that was left over from a previous project - it was done with matt silver card which I brushed with peacock feathers distress ink.

I used Ching Chou Kuik's 'silentness' (owl version) digi, colouring with spectrum noir pens. The papers I've used are offcuts from the Far East stack, including the piece behind the embossed panel and the sentiment. Flowers from Hobbycraft.
