Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge 99: Sparkle and Shine

This weeks challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie's blogspot is

SPARKLE AND/OR SHINE!!  So make sure there's something sparkly or shiny on your creation....it could be glitter or rhinestones, crystal lacquer or metal!!  Sparkle and shine it up!!

I have been itching to try out my one and only KK Christmas stamp Elysia (redundancy sucks), and decided to go for a muted classy look.

I used an ivory gold dust card with a snow embossing folder.  I love this snow folder, as I think it is a great night sky too.

I coloured her with copics, and paper pieces her wings and horn with gold card.

I used Nestabilities labels 22 to create the shape of the image, and sentiment.  Then edged it with antique linen distress ink around the edges to make it stand out a bit more.

My sparkle is in the form of star shaped gems, and teeny crystals

The sentiment is by Penny black

Hope you like it.

Bombshell Blog Hop : Holiday Hoopla

This month the theme for the Bombshell blog hop is

Many of our major holidays are just around the corner. I think we all know what my favorite holiday is (Halloweenie!  )...but what's yours? My challenge to you is to make a Bombshell project for your favorite holiday. Bonus points if you make a decoration!!! Use any holiday you want and create something that's going to make us want to celebrate!!!

My favourite holiday is probably Christmas, so I decided to create my first ever Bombshell Christmas card :)

I used Man's ruin who is fast becoming my favourite.
I coloured her with copics.
The snowflakes are the one the edge Tim Holtz die, tarted up with stickles, and holo glitter
The paper was from my stash, not sure of the brand sorry.

The sentiment was a freebie of unknown origin.

Hope you like her.
