I don't like GLITTER...
but I kind of like my card!



I wish you could see my card in real life. It SPARKLES! (It must be the glitter... tee hee!)


The background paper is black GLITTER paper.

The train image and sentiment are embossed with a GLITTER-ful Embossing Powder.

The stripe was created with a piece of sticky strip and red GLITTER.

  9. As my son would say, Holy Shrimp!!! This is STUNNING!! What a beautifully embossed image (0pps, glittered?) I agree, glitter = a disaster in my house! I have a challenge with it on my cards yet my kids sling it from one end of the craft table, into the carpets, thru the house, out the doors, on the dogs, lol!!!! How can I manage NOT to create a card?! You've certainly given us some inspiration with your beautiful card - Sweet P will just squeal with delight with this little number!! ::: standing ovation! :::
