This card uses an older sketch of mine which can been seen here. I had made this for Shelli's challenge last month but got so busy that I didn't have a chance to post it and enter it into the contest, oh well. I love all of the sparkle on this card. The card base is basic gray and was stamped using an old retired background stamp in basic gray. The main image is stamped with Lovely as a Tree. I am so glad that this set didn't retire as it is a terrific set for masculine cards. I think that the purple and green really pop off of the gray background don't you?


Once I added the colors to the background I sprayed the whole image with home made shimmer spray to add more sparkle. You can see this better on the second picture here. I had some black rhinestones laying around and thought since the challenge was to use things that sparkle I would add these on each scallop too. You can never have to much glitz!!! To finish off the card I added a couple of different ribbons layered on top of each other.

Hope you enjoy. Happy Scrapping and Stamping,

Ronda
