Sparkley Sparrow

I finally was able to get into my craft room and stamp a little this weekend! My littlest one has been sick all weekend -- so we've been up all night, doing breathing treatments -- fun stuff like that. I was suppose to have my Blogger's Challenge card finished on Friday... but at least it's finished! And, I had fun doing it. It feels good to be back in the groove! (please check my side bar to see what everyone else came up with!)

This week's challenge was to use embossing on your card. I love my Cuttlebug, and decided to put it to work!

I began by stamping this beautiful bird image from Wordsworth's new set (Heart Sing) with Purely Pomegranate ink onto Soft Sky CS. I love this year's 'In Colors' from SU! I layered the bird onto Pomegranate CS with a dimensional.

I wanted to give you a close up look at the main image (sorry about the blur!) I found this new product and AM ADDICTED! I love it when I try something new and find that I LOVE it! The little gems are called Swarovski Crystals and they're on sale right now at Paper Pretties! I just used a Two Way Glue Pen (I think this is what it's called! It writes in blue, then turns clear.) -- made a dot where I wanted to add a crystal and... voila! It holds perfectly! I'm shopping tonight for some more colors! They're perfect for when you want to add a little bling!

This is another image from the same stamp set. I thought it looked simple and classic on the front of the envelope.


I added a little more embossing to the back flap of the envelope. So pretty!
