A Paper Garden Challenge

Hello :)

Today's card is for the Fourth Friday Paper Garden Challenge.  It's a new challenge series hosted by Cathy St.Clair, owner of Paper Garden Projects.  You can find out all the skinny here.

This Friday's challenge is to "Bring on the Bling!" 

  
  
This is my sparkly snowman.  The sparkly felt is from AC Moore.  It cuts pretty easily with a guillotine cutter.  I also stitched around the edges using my sewing machine.

For a little more sparkle, I added glitter to the snowman's hat and base.  I did this with a Quickie Glue Pen.  I love this glue pen because it doesn't glop.  I just write it on and let it sit for a couple a seconds and then add the glitter.  This gives the glitter a nice even look.
  

Now, here's a picture of the prize you could win  -

 

Looks good huh.  I hope you'll join us!

I've started my Christmas Cards :) This is a 4x4 card. I stamped the mouse in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with Copic markers. I then cut him out using a Spellbinders Nestabilities and my Cuttlebug. The papers are from my Prism Classic Christmas collection from Paper Garden Projects.

I also made this card for the Penny Black challenge blog - Buttons and Bows
