Sparkle and Shine Challenge

Hi lovelies!

Happy July Forth to my American friends!

Those who are not in the US, Happy Saturday!

I am playing Sparkle and Shine Challenge today, they have the perfect, fun theme for this very patriotic day! 

Isn't this photo lovely!?

Here is what I came up with...

I've been using Whisper White for my base a lot, but I thought this photo was rustic so Crumb Cake seemed like a better fit.

I have been loving my fringe die! It's just so much fun!!

I decided to use some tissue paper, can you believe I didn't have any red!!? I tried sponging white tissue, but it just didn't work... so I had to use DSP, which is thinner than cardstock so it still gave the similar soft look as the tissue paper. The tissue paper is layered 5, 6 pieces. 

The stars seemed appropriate for this card. 

I die cut 2 stars in vellum, and 2 in silver foil sheet. I left the inside pieces in the silver stars to give extra shine. 

I couldn't choose a sentiment, but finally decided on this one because I liked the font on this card! Of course I brushed it with my glitter pen, but no matter which angels I tried, I couldn't photograph it today! 

I added a few silver star sequins, perfect finishing touch, don't you think!?

Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Real Red DSP (Retired Patterns), Silver Foil Sheet, Vellum, Tissue Paper
