Floral Thinking of You

Hello!  I hope you had a fantastic weekend.  I certainly did.  For my card today, I thought I would try my hand at using glitter, haha!  CAS-ual Fridays latest challenge is to use glue dots or adhesive strips with glitter.  I found this challenging because I don't usually like to use glitter on my projects and usually end up getting it EVERYWHERE.  So, it truly was a challenge for me, oh and I also combined the glitter challenge with The Play Date Cafe's color challenge.  Not so sure I like how these colors worked out for me.  Ah, well...


Starting with a white panel, I stamped my leaf vine image (Tsukineko bamboo leaves), and flowers (Berry Sorbet, rolled in Pure Poppy).  Added a glue dot to the centers of the flower and sprinkled on some glitter.


Stamped my sentiment in black and added strips of Scor-tape on either side and glittered them up.  I then matted the panel to a pink piece of card stock and attached it to a white card base.


Here are the inspirational colors from Play Date and CAS-ual Friday challenge badge:



Thank you for popping by today!  I hope you have a great day!

Lindsay

    Oh pish posh about not liking it! HahaI think the colors look great and that glitter technique looks great with it! You are a brave soul - I get scared every time I open a bottle of glitter. Haha And then I find it on myself and my clothes for the next 3 weeks. :)

    Are you crazy? These colors look fabby Lindsay, and your stamping is pristine. You do CAS so well. It's always an "aha!" moment when I see what you've done for the CAS-ual Friday challenge.

    LOL at Keva saying "Embrace the glitter" I love it! I love glitter but never use it on my cards. That said, you can think of me any time if you send a card like that! I think it's fabulous! :D

    My hubby banned me from using glitter because somehow, it ends up all over HIM! I love the colors on your card and the glittery accents are the perfect touch!
