TGIF Challenge - Inspiration Challenge

Oh my goodness, with all the excitement of traveling to Sydney for Stampin' Up! OnStage, I almost forgot that it's time for a card from the TGIF guys. This week we have an inspirational thought and it's one that is so easy, I expect to see you all give it ago!

So what's a girl to do when the card is all about sparkle?!?! I literally just grabbed everything I could find and brought it to the table and then went crazy lol:

Now this card was actually made with a particular person in mind, who's one of my all time favourite Stampin' Up! Idols plus I remembered it was her birthday on Saturday, so I thought I'll be able to hand delivery this one in person. And because I adore this gorgeous girl I wanted to make something super special.

I actually used a technique that I saw Patty Bennett do a few weeks ago with the Fluttering Embossing Folder. I used the flourish from First Sight and stamped it over and over on the raised side of the embossed paper in Blushing Bride and Sahara Sand. It really gives such an effective finish, that Patty is so clever!!

Well, now that you've stopped by and visited, why not pop on over to the TGIF blog and see what all the other gorgeous, talented guys have been up to. And make sure you take some time this weekend to take part with us!!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo

    1. Thanks Kim. It took me a few attempts to decide on a colour choice lol. Patty's is beautiful, but then she's used our fav colours ;-)
