Happy New Year everyone!
I’m so delighted that it’s my turn to host the challenge over at Country View Challenges this month, so to welcome 2022 I have chosen the theme of A Year to Sparkle and Shine.
We would like to see LOTS of sparkle and shine on your projects, no “token” gems or sequins please; you really need to go sprinkle that sparkle! This means that you can use lots of different sparkly and shiny products (like metallics, sparkly embossing powders, glitters, lustres, foil, glazes, mirror cardstock, mica sprays or paints etc) as part of your designs.
For my very sparkly art journal page, I started by covering the background with Silver DecoArt Extreme Sheen Metallic Paint and then sprinkled some Black Sparkle Cosmic Shimmer embossing powder over the top and heated it with a heat gun. Then I added some rub-on transfers from a Numbers pack from Tim Holtz and the wording which were Metallic Alpha Stickers by Tim Holtz. To finish, I added Crystal Twinkle Stars from Creative Expressions.
Here’s all the crafting goodies from Country View Crafts that I used to create this page (grin!).
For more inspiration please see the amazing sparkly and shiny creations from my fellow Design Team members over at Country View Challenges.
I look forward to visiting you and seeing what you make and you never know, you might even win a £20 voucher for the shop! Before you enter your project though, please read the rules!
Stay safe and well!
Thanks for joining me today! If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you. Hugs, Jo x
There’s sure a lot of sparkle and shine in your entry, Jo. You have truly given us a real gem of sparkles. Again, I am SO sorry to read about the unexpected death of your father.
