Glitter Flower Mojo ~

Hi everyone!  Sorry I haven't been around much this week.  I'm trying to stay away from the computer and challenges and focus on all of the Christmas presents and cards that I promised myself I'd make this year.  lol  I'm back with a card to play along with a few challenges:

Mojo Monday Sketch #168

JUGS Technique Challenge #63: Sparkly Stained Glass

Cute Card Thursday #142: Floral Frenzy

I always like to play along with the Mojo Monday sketch...but especially when it's prize week! lol  Hey, you can't knock me for trying out for free Verve stamps!  I love the Verve line!  When I saw the current challenge for the JUGS blog, I knew just what I wanted to do.  I had it all planned and sketched out on scrap paper when I made it over to my mom's.  The card went together relatively quickly - that is, except for the dry time on the Glossy Accents.  I'll quit blabbering now, here's the card

The large and small flowers from One Person were stamped on some scrap acetate (what all the PTI sets come on) in Palette Noir ink.  I heat set it just to make sure it didn't smudge and b/c I was working on a timeline.  On the backside of the acetate, I covered the flower with Glossy Accents in sections and then dumped glitter on - yellow for the flower centers, green for the leaves and then 3 different MS pinks for the petals.  I realized after an hour that I was going to need some assistance to finish this card, so I turned on the space heater and set the acetate sheet in front of it.  lol   I don't know if you can tell, but the smaller flower is popped up on a dimensional in the center.  This stained glass technique is so fun!  I want to make some super glittery Xmas ornament cards now! 

The sentiment is from Beautiful You.  It's stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and embossed with Filigree clear embossing powder.  The background paper is from a digi pack, and unfortunately, I can't find it on my computer to tell you what it's called.  I didn't want to do a huge bow b/c it would block the sentiment, so I added a little bit of embroidery floss and tied it up.  The only thing I'm now realizing I forgot is a string of black rhinestones under the sentiment panel.  If I make it over to my mom's today, I'll add them and repost a pic.  So for now, just use your fabulous imaginations!!  lol  ETA: I've posted the new pic.  :o)  Thank you for stopping by today and for your fantastic comments!  Every one of them is so very special to me!  Hope you're having a nice, relaxing Sunday!  :o) lyss
