Sparkle & Shine

Morning folks!

Well, guess whose turn it is to pick the Daring Cardmakers Dare this week - yours truly!

I've challenged the team and our readers to make a card that sparkles and shines. :) Full details are over on the blog here.

For my sparkly shiny element I was determined to get some of my Tim Holtz silver tinsel trim on a card this year:

Paper: Basic Grey, Crate Paper
Dies: Concord and 9th, Spellbinders
Other: tinsel trim, 3D foam tape

Well I simply can't resist word dies that offer some versatile ways to use them. My new "JOY" die from Concord and 9th is a great example. Here I've used it in the regular way, to simply cut out the letters. But I am also looking forward to using the negative of this die on a future card and perhaps making it a shaker feature. I just need to get some acetate sheets at some point!

In the meantime I was happy to delve into my left-overs of last year's (final) Basic Grey Christmas release - Juniper Berry. Love that polar bear paper and the lovely aqua snow flurries in the background. A great contrast for the white and cream stripes from Crate Paper's last Christmas release before the 2016 one!

If you are looking for more sparkly inspiration then definitely check out the DT makes on the DCM blog - there are some stunning projects!

Happy crafting!
