Bling, Glitter and Sparkle

When you see something sparkly...blingy...how does it make you feel? Sparkle lifts my spirits, makes me smile! It makes a dull item come to life! Last week, my allergist told me I needed to wear a mask while working in the yard to avoid getting sick again. I decided I'm going to add some bling to my mask to make it more fun to wear! :-)

I love the sentiment on this card. It's so true! I used a watercolor background for the base of my card. I stamped the sentiment with black Versafine then embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it a shine. I embossed the butterfly with gold embossing powder and added dots of glitter glue with gold embossing powder added to it. There are additional gold dots added with my gold pen. I also added a little more sparkle with gold sequins topped with a dot of stickles.  I finished off the card by adding some gold embossing powder to the edges and mounting on a white cardbase.
