CSS - Simplicity Sparkles Blog Hop - 3-26-2013

It is another StampTV blog hop. This time we were challenged to create a card that is CAS and that any embellishments we add must sparkle. It was a little harder for me then I thought it would be. But I rose to the challenge!
You should have arrived from the fabulous blog of Lori McAree.

I did not realize until after the cards were done that I chose a similar color theme for both cards. I did not mean to do that. The first card uses the fabulous stamp set called Vogue Vases 2. I turn to this set a lot. I used some patterned paper for the vases called Poppy Prints. The embellishments are some sparkly gold ribbon and some red gems.  

This card was made on GKD Pure Luxury Kraft CS - I always hesitate to color an image on Kraft because it is not always the way I envision it turning out. The image is from the latest release set and it is called Day at the Park Diva. I used a combination of Gel Pens and Copics to color the images. The white and blue rug really do sparkle a bit. The frame around the image is gold and sparkly as are the 3 dots.

Now hop on over to visit Tera Fujan, for some more fabulous eye candy. If you want to start at the beginning or get lost along the way, just jump directly to the links for all of the wonderful creations on StampTV.
