Gosh, I wish I could show sparkle the way it's depicted in the inspiration photos. It will glitter spectacularly in person, and sparkle beautifully through the camera lens, but by the time it's translated to the computer it's mostly gone. Try to imagine a shimmery white base, glossy black oval, glittery silver fancy oval, and a sparkly black resin dot. It's just so darned pretty in real life!
I pulled from my spare parts, friend shares, and oldies but goodies to make another Christmas card for the 2024 stash. The only thing not ancient is the Spellbinders sentiment banner.
The prize offering for this challenge guarantees plenty of sparkle for a random winner:
Will you be a random winner or a creative winner? Either way, we hope you'll play along just for fun because it's a treat to see what you make.
Take care and enjoy your day!
Paper: Shimmer white, Neenah white, silver glitter cardstock, glossy black Dies: Spellbinders Classic Ovals and Elegant Ovals, Wild Rose Studio Lacy Snowflake, Spellbinders Make it Merry Sentiments Other: Doodlebug Sprinkles sparkly resin dot, Sizzix Snowflake #8 embossing folder, foam tape to pop up sentiment

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card. I'm sorry that the sparkle doesn't translate through the camera lens, but I bet it is so pretty IRL. So impressed with how you put your cards together with this and that you found in your stamping room.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame the camera doesn't catch all that sparkle and shine. But we all know how beautiful it is IRL, Leslie! A stunning card!
ReplyDeleteI see the sparkle and shine, Leslie and it's fabulous! This is a lovely and elegant card!
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white combination and the sparkle and shine makes it awesome!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is certainly beautiful, Leslie!! I can imagine the sparkle IRL - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCreativity and beauty all in one show.. Great design ♥
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could see all the sparkle, isn't it something how things can change from real life to a picture, I even have that problem with some colors not showing true. I love the pretty layering you have done here with these die cuts and I love the flowing banner sentiment with it too!
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty. I love that stylized snowflake! Great take on the challenge, my friend. And aren't you clever to get started on your Christmas cards for this year!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your description of your card I can really see the shine and sparkle. I sure wish there was a way to photograph it better, but I believe you. Our company left today and you have inspired me. There will be crafting in my near future,
ReplyDeleteSo fun to come see what you've been up to! You always have products I haven't seen before! Perfectly January I say!
ReplyDeleteWhat a regal and elegant card! Love this beauty, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an intricate and beautiful creation with those fabulous die cut pieces and a wonderful embossed background too. it's just amazing and a feast for the eyes with that big sparkly button in the center.
