Glitter and gloss...

I don't normally use a lot of glitter and glitz - and although it's not real apparent in this photo, I really went over the edge with this challenge (by my standards!)  I used glitter, bling, Diamond Glaze, Micro Beads and foil.  (This is that game of find 5 things in this picture!)  This card was made for:

The new Monday Craft Your Passion Challenge is up and running with the theme "Glitter and Gloss".  The sponsor this go around is Inky Impressions and they have provided the Design Team with these images to create some inspiration for you.  You can find those really fun cards, the challenge rules and due date HERE.  

TECHNIQUE

I used "Angelica Crafting" and "Open Drawer Desk" from Inky Impressions.  The theme and images lead to a craft room... not much other choice in my mind!  So a floor for her to sit on, bright colors for my crafty Angelica - and all the options come with what glittery embellishments to use.  I did print the girl twice, colored her and fussy cut both the images - the girl is then sculpted and layered with foam tape.   The desk is also fussy cut and placed against the "back wall' with a back splash/ bulletin board.  I completed the design with as much glitter & gloss as I could: foil on the hearts on the bulletin board, Diamond Glaze on the hearts strung on the ribbon, bling on her headband, shirt & the tool can, glitter on the balloons on the little card & finally Micro Beads on the "spilled" glue on the floor.
