Leave a little 'Sparkle'

It's Saturday and that's Just Us Girls Challenge Day

I had a fun and messy afternoon after seeing a 

'new to me' technique on YouTube.

It's Hot Glue Embossing and thought it would be 

something different for our Word Week

hosted by Carol Mc choosing 'Sparkle'

and a closer look at the 'sparkle'

It does look just like a big mess that went wrong but - 

I made quite a few. Some turned out,

others hmm! Just had to pick which one I liked

and go from there.

This was soooooooooo hard to photograph

to show the 'sparkle' (I tried)

I think the sparkly embossing powder 

may have been a little too fine.

Background is smooched Magical's.

Dribbled hot glue and thought I would try and add foil

 which worked out nicely then I smothered it with

very fine sparkly embossing powder.

Added a small frame behind it with the same paper

as my metallic base only a lighter weight.

After much searching I finally found a sentiment

that fitted the challenge perfectly - 

Tim's Small Talk.

 Decided to show another since I had several

sitting on my desk.

This is a little different - not sparkly as such

It was heat embossed in copper and added

Stampendous embossing enamel which highlighted

the sheen from the Magical's background.

Distressed the edges, added a sentiment,

framed in metallic paper and finished with

the bright card base.

What a fabulous challenge. Hope to see

 lots of sparkle in all forms in the Gallery.
