Well, I would imagine you are wondering what I am up to with this post?
I am VERY excited to be a "Guest Designer" for the next 3 months at 
"Sparkle N Sprinkle"!!!!


I had so much fun working with their glitters, embossing powders and stamps
that I can hardly wait for "next" months "Reveal"..LOL!
But, let me show what I have for today!

I used the beautiful new stamp set Spring Window #704.
I loved the brick on the stamp and decided to somewhat "mimic" it
by using pieces of Tear-ific tape placed random on white card stock.
I added Parisian Mist  Glitter and had a nice sparkle brick for my background.

I stamped the Spring Window image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I colored the image with Copics.
I used Brushable Glue on the flowers and added Bubble Gum glitter.
The flowers in the vase I used Dimensional Glue
then adding the same Bubble Gum glitter...
I love how this glue makes the flowers "3D".

The butterfly I die cut and it was
coated with Brushable Glue which
I sprinkled Bubble Gum glitter on.

I stamped my sentiment with Versamark
then, added Silver Detail embossing powder and heat set it.


Now head on over to Eret's blog to see her beautiful project.
