REALLY!!!

This is excitement at it's best!   Charlie just loves life....   This was a pretty simple layout and the bling was all added using Tear-ific Tape for the stripes on the side and Super Adhesive Sheets punched into circles and letters from an alphabet template.   I used Orange Surprise & Navy glitters from Sparkle N Sprinkle and also Yellow Gold glitter tinsel.  Added a few buttons and Voila!!!  Can you tell he's a Syracuse fan....   Mom & Dad are both alumni.

 

 

Deco Divas - Love is in the Air Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle - Deco Divas - Love is in the Air Blog Hop!!!
If you hopped here by way of  Jill Jacobsen's blog, then you are in the right place!
Otherwise, you might want to start back at the beginning  (Sparkle N Sprinkle) to make sure you are eligible for the four great prizes that are available. 

I really like the Heure de Party image by Gail Burton, so I chose that to share with you for this hop.  I pretty much stuck to the Deco Diva portion of the blog hop and have done the same image in two different styles and colors.

The first is black & white with a hint of red.  I used my trusty Copic markers to color the images on both cards.  Sparkling Snow glitter from SNS is used to highlight this one and Silver Leaf glitter tinsel also from SNS edges the rosette.  Some black velvet ribbon - a gorgeous black and white swirl designer paper, a crystal ring, a half pearl and rhinestones top it off.

Click on either of the main images to go directly to the SNS Gallery for full instructions and products.

For my second card, I decided to go with jewel tones.  I used Bridal & Orchid glitters from SNS to highlight the dresses and Purple Dust on a strip of Super Adhesive Sheet for the border.  I topped it off with a border punch from Martha Stewart and some half pearls and crystal flowers.  The black background was stamped with Versamark and I brushed on Interference Violet Perfect Pearls from Ranger over the Versamark to achieve just a hint of design.  The Spellbinders Label die cut out was then embossed using one of my favorite embossing folders from Stampin' Up.

 

 I hope you enjoyed the blog hop and all the fabulous cards that the designers have created!  No one knows who has the mystery prizes on their blogs so don't forget to leave a comment on every blog to be eligible for the prizes and be sure to head on back to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog to answer that mystery question!
