Sparkly dressed Girl (Sami Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Wow, have you ever tried to photograph a glitter card? All the papers for this card were glitter paper and I glittered her dress also and this was incredibly difficult to make look good in a photo even though in real life it's a very elegant and sassy card. 

I love this gorgeous image from Sami Stamps, she's so fine!! My daughter gave me the little black flowers, they were for her nails but she didn't want them anymore, perfect to add the finishing touch to my card I think. 



Flourish with a Bling is selling all their products for $2 each this month, that's more than half off most products!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Blue shabby rhinestone card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This card is using a gorgeous image from The Greeting Farm, I have had her forever but still love this rubber stamp. For this card I used an embossing folder, something I don't actually get out and use very much although I love how everyone else seems to create so beautifully with them. Once I'd embossed the teal paper I lightly went over it with sandpaper so you can see the details better. 

I used some love heart stamps, snowflake die cuts and some Flourish with a Bling - Elise silver flourish, Elise white flower and silver rhinestones. Flourish with a Bling is selling all their products for $2 each this month, that's more than half off most products!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend. I'm sadly still stuck indoors trying to get rid of my cough, I can't believe it's been a month!
