Glittery Fingers...

Good evening crafty friends, just a quick check-in between projects. I've got a few birthday cards to make over the next couple of days, and then to start on the christmas cards (I cant believe where this year as gone).

With the weather being as horrible as it as been lately I really fancied changing the dark and dismal mood in the house with 4 bored and chilly kiddiewinkles by bringing out the craft supplies along with lots of glitter and shiny gems. I left them to glitterfying everything in sight including the table, carpet, themselves and the poor poor dog (who usually looks really butch and macho being an american bulldog) and their own creations whilst I added some colour and sparkle to a project i was working on for my nan...
The black outline around the floral image is from the Aqua Glass outline stickers range (iris-rose), which I started to colour using  Papermania's Dual-tip watercolour markers but didnt like the effect that it gave me as it seemed to fade into the sparkly background so out came the Smirk's Premium glitter markers to bring out the idea of what I now had for the focal point of my card. Finished off with a few gems threaded onto silver 'stretchy stuff' (its a technical term... honest :) ) and a couple of cute 3D butterflies strategically placed on both the image and sentiment I think my card turned out ok and almost added a bit of warmth to the ice cold sun that could be seen peeping through the clouds.
Anyways that me shifting my backside to the next project before my mojo disappears completely and seeing as I currently have no idea at all where to start on what should be my husbands birthday card, i'm gonna need every last bit I can conjure up.
Have a wonderful evening people, see you all soon.
