Some of the challenges wanted bling and sparkle. So let's get to it! I used a metallic sheet of card stock: DCWV Linen collection. I hope you can see how the paper shimmers. On to edging a chipboard circle with glue followed by USArtQuest Crystal Effects (fine glitter). Then I highlighted the roses with my Sakura Gel Clear Star Pen. Always hard to photograph this stuff so I hope you can see it in this close-up. Adding to the bling is my diamond crystal at the top.
Spring time of course makes one think of Mother's Day and flowers in bloom.
For mother: image from A Mother's Love collage sheet from Gecko Galz.
Flowers: rose circle from For Mother's Day collage sheet by Heather Hudson for Gecko Galz
beautiful roses in the mother/daughter image
Ribbon and Lace: This gorgeous scalloped seam binding is doing double duty as lace tied into a ribbon bow.
To complete the list, I used my Sizzix Frame, Fancy Rectangle die on a piece of card stock from DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Girl paper pack.
