Happy weekend everyone!
I managed to combine 3 challenges in one again for this little card - Casology, where the cue word is 'Glitter', Addicted to CAS (code word 'Bloom') and Time Out which has a quote for inspiration:
'Love is the flower you've got to let grow'
I die cut a bloom from My Favorite Things, coloured it with Copics and dipped some of the petals in gold glitter. Glitter never looks as pretty and sparkly in the photos does it? But I can assure you it's very sparkly IRL. The leaves have been die cut from gold card stock and the sentiment has been embossed in gold. Why did I pick gold? This is for my in-laws golden wedding anniversary in April - it seems to be the year for golden wedding anniversaries in our family! (I'm very lucky with my in-laws...I hear nightmare stories about in-laws but mine are just gorgeous. In fact, I almost prefer them to my husband...)
Anyway, that's my glittery creation for this weekend - thanks for popping by!
