We are showcasing Glitter Ritz and Distress Glitter  this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used :-)

I used the middle top piccy for my inspiration and used  Stormy Sky Distress Glitter and Glitter Ritz Opaque White and Stardust  :-)


This week on the Splitcoaststampers website our old teamie Joy Taylor is the featured stamper and I chose THIS card to CASE to join in with the challenge :-)

I had great fun making this ! after stamping the image with Stormy Sky Distress Ink I picked up some wet white acrylic paint on a brush and splattered it EVERYWHERE !! oops ,, my laptop got a good spray too :-/ I couldn't find any suilable DP to use for the background so I continued the theme, inked up some plain white paper and splattered some more :-)

I really love how this turned out and think this might become a model for mass production :-) The colours on this 2nd photo are more true to life :-)



So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!




There are fabulous Give Aways and inspiration from fabulous designers on a daily basis over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog ,,,if you haven't subscribed by email you may want to so you don't miss out :-)
