Week 95 Recipe Glamour and Glitz

Challenge 95 
For the recipe this week, we'd like you to include 
Glamour and Glitz
By that we mean something to include glitter or bling, something that twinkles, sparkles or shines. (Mandi would love this one, in fact she probably chose it!)

I had a wonderful day over on the Isle of Wight with her, despite the rain. It was great to see her new shop which was a hive of industry with walls being re-plastered and walls being painted. She is going to make it beautiful with her immaculate taste and imaginative ideas.   



The wall on the right was the one that had been painted and is now awaiting being dressed.The picture below shows the rear of the shop and you can see one of the walls which has just been re-plastered.
Mandi did a pretty good job of evading my camera!
Now, from somewhere full of Glamour and Glitz, on with this week's challenge!

(Back from her holiday)
So after a sunny week in Egypt I hope I managed to visit you all last week... so I have 2 cards today for you using some new stash.  Here is the first...

I used a set of snowflakes from SU and the flitterglu from Indigo Blu to add clear glitter onto pearl card. I then wrapped it with some gorgeous wool felt and used my new Die-namics bow maker die to add a felt bow... Sorry the photos are not great it just didn't want to focus at all.. 

Onto my second card...



I have used an SU embossing folder to emboss the Kraft card stock and then added clear glitter to the spots over the pattern.  It's finished off with a Pink Petticoat sentiment, a butterfly punch from SU and a glitter button from my stash.

I hope you all have a great week... can't wait to see what you come up with...
Jen
Jen used quite a lot of layers on this one, but the design is really clean and simple!

This is an Impression Obsession stamp which Mandi gave me, stamped in Stazon onto acetate, then glued and glittered on the back of the impression. I adhered another sheet of acetate behind that, to prevent the glitter from rubbing off. I stuck these behind an aperture in the card and added another sheet of card, also with a corresponding aperture cut into it, to hide where it had been attached.
This is a bargain stamp from Rubber Stampede, the image from which I gently coloured and twinkled with Glamour Dust. I added some Glossy Accents to the cake stand to make it look like glass, but sadly neither of these features shows up well in the photograph.
I added a few gems to the embossing and the ribbon.

We hope you really enjoy this one.
Let us see you sparkle!
