Shiny Shiny Wishes!


Less is More this week is asking for something shiny.  Perhaps we could all influence the sun to shine again?  

We had the primary school sports day yesterday and it was so cold.  Such a shame for the kids.  They had a super Olympic theme.  They were all split into countries and paraded on waving their countries flags.  Our picnic ended up in the school as the heavens opened.  Brrrr had to put our heating back on in the evening as was still chilled. 

For my card I've used a Very Vanilla base.  Stamped the flourish from Everything Eleanor in Baja Breeze.  I punched out a flower of Real Red Glitter Card using the Blossom Punch.  Then punched out a heart of Very Vanilla.  I sponged Frost White Shimmer Paint over it.  I inked up the Faith in Nature flower in versamark then stamped in Poppy Parade.  I then covered it all in Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.  I added a Basic Rhinestone to the centre of the flower to finish off. 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture the all the shimmer and sparkle on my photo. 

Thanks for calling in past.  I'm looking forward to having a look at all the sparkly entries this week.  See you tomorrow for another card using the Blossom Punch. x
