and we start week one with GLITTER!
Here's my glitter creation I decided on a Christmas card.
The main image is from Peerless Designs Yesteryears Christmas Edition CD rom. I may have mentioned before that I love Christmas roses ;o)
The image was printed twice, the flowers decoupaged then sprinkled with a fine glitter called Candy Floss over the parts I had covered with a glue pen.
The backing paper is part of a Websters Page 12x12 DP (had it ages, loved it, didn't want to cut it! ) which I over stamped with a snowflake stamp using Versafine.
I cut around parts of the foliage with a craft knife, then threaded the ribbon through. The Image is mounted onto a base card which has been embossed around the edges with Sprinkle and Sparkle Guilded Ivory EP then placed onto the DP with the foliage overlapping. I pleated a little more ribbon and added the sentiment .
Hope you can see the glitter.

My Christmas card is a bit of a change for me cos I prefer traditional colours at Christmas..you know red, green and gold but I just loved this image and the DP so went for a complimentary colour theme.

Just to avoid any confusion... there is only one layer of DP but because I cut out part of the papers design ie
foliage I was able to put the topper behind the cut outs and thread the ribbon behind on both the L and R sides. this has given the illusion of layers. I should take progressive photos.. :o( xx

I love this. I tried to work out how you had done it and I thought you had Decoupaged the flowers before the glitter was added.

This is so gorgeous Sue! Adore the colours! See you soon! Suz xx
So beautiful Suzi - gorgeous Christmas Roses - Jacqueline xx
Beautiful card and loving the ribbon and glitter. x
This is beautiful Sue and such a lot of attention to detail. I can see the glitter when I click on the pic ............. just ....... now that Mr Blogger in his infinite wisdom has imposed the silly gallery pictures on us. This is a perfect example of why I prefered the old way. I love the way you've done the ribbon too.

ps I have some candy if you are interested :)
This is so stunning Suzi! I love the delicate colours - with the glitter the flowers look quite fragile, just like the real thing! The cut away section is really effective too! Thank you for welcoming me as a guest this week! Vx
Totally adorable!
