Make It Sparkle! ssnotime30!

TGIF! Wouldn't be a Friday without a Sharon Johnson Stamp Simply challenge! This week is dedicated to the divas! The women who love a lot of glitz and glam in their stamp room! All you need to do it glitter up any part of your card - use prisma glitter, Stickles, or even glittered decorative paper! You could even use an embellie that's already glittered!

Click on over to Sharon's place HERE for all the details!

While you're at it, check out Tammy's card HERE

My card is dedicated to a little diva in my life... my 4-year-old fairy and princess lovin' daughter. She and I had our nails done today and I mean to tell you, her nails have just about as much sparkle as this little stamped fairy! I'm not going to show this to her- I want to save it for her 5th birthday. It may be a few months away, but it's PERFECT for her!
This image was in a pile of stamped images I got from one of My SBS5 sisters. We did an image swap. How fun! She's a little fairy from Lizzie Anne Designs!

The glitter background is decorative paper from K & Company. The fairy was colored with watercolor pencils and then "painted" with Duo Glue. It's a glue that dries tacky. I did the wings first and then covered it with Prisma glitter. I then painted the skirt with the glue and covered it with pink glitter. Boy, am I sparkly right now! I always manage to get glitter EVERYWHERE! I used my circle and scalloped circle Nesties and layered it with pearl paper and pink pearl paper. The saying is a Papertrey saying from the Holiday Treats set. I thought it was perfect! The saying was attached with a corsage pin that I added some beads to. After I put the pin through my ribbon knot, I did take some wire cutters to cut it down. I don't like that exposed sharp end! And.... that's pretty much it!

Here's a close up...

Hope you make time for play time! I'd love to see what you cook up for this challenge!

  6. Okay, let's try that again... lol!

    What a darling card -- I love all the sparkle, and I'm sure your daughter will too (I know mine would)! Not 100% sure, but I think the image is one by Lizzie Anne Designs. I just bought their Princess set and think I saw this Fairy in their gallery. Cute!
