Simon Says All that Sparkles :-)

Thanks everyone for joining in our Get Well soon Challenge last week ,, I was sorry that some of you were poorly or had a poorly child to take care of ,,, hope you're all OK now x x

This week we have a fabulous challenge for you :-)
ALL THAT SPARKLES !! :-) Glitter, Gems,Charms, Glimmer mist, shiny paints, cardstock , glitter pens,ribbons,, oohh the list of possibilities is endless ;-)

Now the first things that came to mind with this challenge were either Christmas or Girly ,,, well ,,, I wanted to play with my lovely Tim Holtz goodies and this is what I came up with :-) I actually really like this and I am going to frame it and put it up in the loo ;-)



I started by making the background paper using black doot, dusty concorde and faded jeans distress inks. These were dabbed onto a craft sheet and sprayed with water. Then a piece of card was swirled around in it,, dried ,, then dabbed in the leftover ink , I repeated this step a couple of times. Then I sprayed it with some home made glimmer mist :-) In a small spray bottle I put a little water,, some drops of antique linen re inker ( the only re inker colour I have :-)) and a couple of small scoops of perfect pearls ,, I used a pale pink one :-)

When it was dry I stamped the Tim Holtz chandelier using Black soot ink, cut out using a nestie then smothered with clear Rock Candy crackle paint,, which was a lovely gift from Heidi as were the Basic Grey gems that I used. The gems are lovely ,, some are clear silvery and some are darker ,, more pewter colour ,,, gorgeous !! :-)
The papers are from Creative Expression, all the edges were inked with dusty concorde ink and distressed. I also used some black/grey coredinations for layering :-)



I added a few dots of black stickles to the chandelier,, a ribbon ,,, which was distressed with black ink too. I also used a chandelir charm to add even more sparkle. the text is also from a Tim holtz set :-)

As usual Heidi at Simon Says Stamp is giving a fabulous $25 shopping spree to a lucky winner :-)
