Glitter Me Silly

This is a great little sketch from the S&S team – very simple but versatile too. It’s the Gorjuss girl with a chicken or pigeon or some feathery thing. The paper has been in my stash for YEARS as has the ribbon – can’t even remember where either came from!! She’s coloured with promarkers and the sentiment is Papertry Ink.

I am hoping to get my blog candy up tomorrow (assuming the postie delivers it!!) so check back. It was supposed to be for my 10k hits but as I am 2 away from a round hundred in my followers list then I thought this was a good reason too. Thanks to everyone who supports and enables me in my little hobby. You’re all wonderful!!

Just to add, the papers and sentiment are Crate Paper from their “Blue Hill Collection”. I used to sub to Sarah’s Cards – before the credit crunch – and this was one of their gorgeous scrapbook kits. The sentiment is from a sheet of die-cut accents as are the little flowers and flourishy things. The image is coloured with promarkers and there is the ubiquitous bling in the form of stickles here and there.

I think I should set myself my own personal little challenge to make a card that has NO glitter or bling on it at all!! Hmmm…

It’s amazing how difficult it is to make a Christmas card in the middle of March!! Christmas is my most favourite time of year and I have never had a problem making cards for christmas – until now. I don’t know how many times I have sat down to make a card for this fortnight’s Sugar Bowl challenge only to drift off on a tangent and end up with something all-together un-christmassey!! Och well, I have managed it by relying on a sketch (from the Sketch and Stash challenge) and some of my all time favourite papers by Ki Memories. I have coloured the image with promarkers and added lots of ice stickles – which as usual you can’t really see in the photo. I wish someone would invent a “glitter setting” on these cameras!!
