New Challenge at Inkspirational


Hi friends!
We have a new challenge for you at Inkspirational and this time Sandie has chosen the theme:


Fun theme and perfect for quick and easy Christmas cards! Our guest designer this time is Tracy and she made a wonderfully sparkly butterfly-card, don't miss it or any cards from the DT, click HERE

I took the cue sparkle very seriously... Both my sentiment and my image are sparkly! I've heat embossed the sentiment (Penny Black) with sparkly, silver embossing powder. The penguin (Lawn Fawn) is stamped and colored in with Copics, but after that I covered all areas of the penguin with different colored Stickles and the results were pretty fantastic if you ask me -the penguin looks like a sticker IRL, not like something I've stamped by hand! Such a cool effect. I'm a bit fussy with my Stickles and always use a small paint brush for applying it but it's worth it because you can really control the coverage you get. The die is by MFT. Hope you like!

I'd like to enter:

I really like that stitched die you use a few times....will have to add that to my list. And thanks for tip on stickles, I never use mine as I can't seem to control them, so now I know! I love how you placed the penguin on the sentiment, great CAS design
