Tuesday Card

There was  this leftover piece of glittery cardstock in my craft room, so I chose to make a "glitzy" card for this Tuesday.  The spiky flower is a Spellbinders die and "shine" is one of a collection of word dies purchased on Blitsy.

Glitter, Glitter!

I've never been one for using glitter, but this was fun to complete the CAS Mix Up challenge for November.  I must admit that I actually made two cards, but realized that the first one didn't have any stamping...which is pretty basic!  Fortunately, I had made another glitter piece, so the second card went quickly. 

My choice of glitter technique involved packing tape.  It works beautifully with die cuts. 

I purchased SU's "Merry Little Christmas" DSP pack, and have been thinking of ways to use it.  I am certain that I was inspired by a creation sometime; that's why I ordered the paper.  Of course, I can't find it now. The intricate "Winterland Tree" is by Memory Box; the glitter is a chartreuse by Art Accentz.  The dry embossing adds some interest to the white space, and the tiny "joy" stamp (source unknown) works well.   (I'm also posting the first no-stamping card.  I now have 2 Christmas cards completed!)
