Stamped Blessings Challenge - Glitter

I was browsing the internet today looking for some new challenges 

and came across this great site

so decided to have a bit of a play as I like a bit of bling 

and thought this would be right up my alley.

Here is what I made.

Card base is apricot topped with gold and cream metallic paper - embossed with CB Styleized Flowers. Added gold ribbon and attached the main image from GinaK's Friends are Flowers stamp which is heat embossed in gold. I inked the whole cream piece of paper with versamark ink and sprinkled glitter all over. Heat embossed the glitter to stick. Added Chino pearls to finish it off.

Looking forward to their next challenge.

My card for the 'What If' challenge over at The House that Stamps Built.

After being away for a holiday break I have just made it in time to make a quick card for the latest 

What if Wednesday Sketch Challenge over at The House. 

Below is the sketch.

Here is what I came up with.

My card base is a light cream colour topped in pink which was embossed with CB Roses. 

My main image is a Marianne die called Charleston Lady Silhouette 

cut out from cream metallique sculptured paper. 

This was attached to the same pink paper which was cut from Spellbinders Heart Circles. 

The 3 strips of designer paper were added to the back the same as the sketch.

I finished off with some fine lace pewter pearls and added a necklace from the cut out hearts from the Spellbinder die.
