I am up to my knuckles in glitter. I'm doing laundry as well...hope hubs doesn't mind a few sparkles here and there on his laundry. LOL. You all know there is no getting rid of it.
I have to thank the gals at CAS Christmas Challenge for my mess. The prompt this month is glitter and apparently I just couldn't do it the easy way with pre-glittered paper or tape. The results in real life are worth it...so sparklie!
I started with several ornament diecuts from Stampin Up. I added tumbled glass distress ink and some elmers glue then dumped on Nuvo sparkle dust. I also added some to the wreath ornament on the white part only, I needed the center for the white embossed sentiment. Lastly I took some silver glitter washi tape, placed it on cardstock and cut three ornament tops. After adhering them all to the card front, I added silver "strings" with a silver gel pen.
We all know photographing glittery things is next to impossible, these are gorgeously sparklie. I tried getting a bit of that in this up close shot.
Thanks so much for visiting.

Wonderful, glittery ornaments, Cat! I love how you used the Washi tape for the caps. I hope I can remember that next time I die cut ornaments. Glitter and laundry sound like an interesting combination. I haven't seen any glitter in the laundry here, but it's everywhere else! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Christmas!
Totally gorgeous! Completely worth that extra effort, Cat, Jo x
Glittery, glamourous, and gorgeous, Cat!

A little glitter defines a good card maker, Cat ... and these glittery ornaments are just deliciously shimmery and sparkly! You just added a little extra dazzle to your DH's laundry! Hugs, Anita :)
