The Lavina Stamps challenge this month is 'Add Some Glitter'. I decided to use a glittery metallic thread to wind round a scalloped Nestablity shape. I also added clear Stickles to the flowers on the Lavinia 'Fairy Wish' stamped image to add more sparkle. I don't know why, but the clear Stickles always turns green when it's put on Versafine Onyx ink - very strange!
I used a Sizzlets Photo Corner die for the corners. They had square corners, so I corner rounded them to match the patterned paper.
I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:
I love the subtle touches of glitter on this card, especially the thread :)
ReplyDeleteLovely card Liz - I always think silhouettes look gorgeous. Clever idea to wind the thread as you did. Wonder if you remember the fad for hammering tacks into black velvet covered board in a pattern and then winding fine cord round to get a similar effect? I made a hot air balloon design - back in the dark ages I should add!

I remember hammering in the tacks too, Di! I'm sure it had a name, but I can't remember what it was. It was all the rage at the time! x
DeleteVery pretty Liz and effective threading with the silver.
