Hope everyone enjoyed all of the fun this past weekend. I know I did -- I still need to visit many of the wonderful works of art everyone has posted for all of the challenges.
Today I incorporated three challenges plus today's tutorial regarding glitter. I usually don't use any glitter for our OWH cards except I have done two cards now with some glitter. OH NO!!!! you say -- but wait! -- I did cover the glitter so it couldn't escape -- much like Sandy did in her glitter video. I used glitter under my stained glass technique for first challenge in the VCMP and today I put it under my velum. It sparkles a little, but you really have to look. I used it on the candle tips for the flames on today's card.
Today's card is for the OWH Bonus Sketch on Monday - Fawn Lawn Week making cards for our service members to send home to their kids. I checked out their stamps and they are really cute - unfortunately I don't have many kid type stamps nor do I have any Fawn Lawn stamps (for now anyway). I did find in my stash of stamps a set that I received some time ago from the Cardmaking magazine designed by Adam Pescott - so I used one of these stamps.
In addition to the OWH and Lawn Fawn challenge I am also entering in the The Lollipop Ladies fortnight Challenge 53 - Sherbies and Embossing. What is a Sherbie you ask? It is an Australian candy with a orange and blue wrapper. I found this Challenge from an invite I received on my blog from Lauren whose blog is Let's Get Messy!
On today's card I used three embossing folders - Perfect Polka Dots and Fancy Fan both from SU and Happy Birthday from Provo Craft. I heat embossed the image on one velum and on the reverse side I painted and placed the glitter.
Thanks for stopping in and hope you have a great week.
Hugs,
Sharon

Oh my, what an adorable card! I love the color combination you used and all the different embossing folders. I never use glitter on any of my OWH cards either, it's better to be safe. But I did do one card for Sandy's challenge and sealed it with Glossy Accents.
How absolutely cute! Love the way you have constructed this and the little stamp is beautiful and so well coloured! Thanks for joining in the fun at Lollipop Ladies and we hope to see you back again soon!
What a precious card. I love how your incorporated your glitter and I found your sentiment to really pop with the three layers of the modern label punch. Your kitten is as cute as a button.
This little image is just the cutest and yes you can see the glitter.I love the matt papers you have used and they all tie in togther perfectly.Thank you for joining us at TLL .Pop by next Wednesday for our new challenge.
Hi Sharron, what a great card. I love the different embossing you have done :) I really like the birthday embossing folder up the top. You have captured our challenge of Sherbies with embossing, at The Lollipop Ladies perfectly. Thanks for joining in with us. I hope to see you back soon.
