Make it Sparkle...

Good morning everyone!
 It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times!

This week it's Sue's turn to host the challenge and she chose the fabulous theme...
Sparkle and/or Shine!

I decided to create a tag card with the MFT Blueprints 9 dies and it features an adorable image from Birdie Brown. It's colored with Copics, cut out with a MFT Stitch Circle die and the sentiment is from Jaded Blossom. I used a $1 swirl stamp & VersaMark to create the background and the little strip of dp is from my stash. The heart was made out of MS Crafter's Clay and a mold, I painted it yellow and then covered it with Glamour dust... added the hand dyed seam binding & gems and there you have it!

Good morning everyone and Happy Valentine's Day!
  It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times!  This week it's Claire's turn to host the challenge and she chose the fabulous theme...
Love is in the Air!
Our sponsor is Raspberry Road and I chose one of their free scrapbook Clusters to work with.  This card was so fun to create because I've never worked with any type of digital scrapbooking products before.  To start, I just layered the Cluster over this adorable Birdie Brown image before I printed it out... and I printed it twice so I could pop up the flowers and birds with foam tape.  I used the QuicKutz nesting circles to cut everything out and then distressed around the edges.  I colored the little love birds with Copics and the sentiment is a $1 stamp from Michaels... and there you have it!!  I love how it turned out!  I'm going to give this to my sweet hubby today for Valentine's Day! :)
Now head on over to the challenge blog and check out all of the gorgeous creations by the other team members!

That's it for today... but I will be back tomorrow with another card.  Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by!
