G is for Glitter and Gems

Good morning,

I hope everyone is having a good week, despite the change to our wonderful British weather!

As it's Friday again, it's time for our next letter over at the Alphabet Challenge blog. This week we are on the letter 'G' chosen by Lesley before she left the team. There have been a few changes since then over on the blog where the DT have now split into two teams, but we are still offering a new challenge every fortnight. We are also now offering a snazzy 'winner's badge' for the 'Top 3' entries each time as a little incentive. So, this time we would love to see your projects using 'Glitter and Gems' and here's what I made for a little DT inspiration ...

It's a fairly simple 6x6" card covered with paper from my stash. I added a gorgeous glittered butterfly which I stamped onto acetate and glittered from the back, making a striking focal point for the card. I also added a strip of double sided tape across the bottom of the card and added some of the turquoise glitter before popping on a sentiment which was created on my pc. And I certainly don't need asking twice to bling it up with some pretty gems! Step away from the card, Jan!! Lol.

Don't forget to pop over to the blog and check out some more fab ideas by my talented teamies. I shall look forward to visiting your blogs over the next couple of weeks.

Hugz, Jan xx

Butterfly Eyes

Hi there everyone,

Well, it's day three of my Half Term break and all is well - lots of crafting done and I even did some housework too (but, sshhhh don't tell anyone!!)

It's my turn to post again today over at the Scrapbook Stamp Society and I have a card made using a fabulous butterfly image by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff (which can be found in their on-line store HERE).

The background is made using 'Broken China' and 'Seedless Preserve' distress inks. I then put the card front through my printer and added the butterfly image and the quote. I added extra colour to the image using Promarkers, together with a few highlights in white ink. The whole thing is mounted on black card and measures 6x6".

I would like to enter this into the challenges at: 

-  'Try it on Tuesday' which is 'All about the Eyes'

-  'Cute Card Thursday' which is 'An Eye for Detail'

Hope you have a great day :)

Hugz, Jan xx
