I finally got a chance to sit down and work on this week's Splitcoast CAS challenge. The challenge was to use something sparkly on your card. So I made a quickie 4th of July card.
This is a new stamp I got recently from Lizzie Anne Designs and I thought the sparkler idea was perfect for this challenge.
The image and sentiment is all one stamp and is stamped with palette noir ink. Then I took my red and my blue spica pens (the first bit of sparkle) and "colored" the sparklers. Then I used red and blue Taylor's Twinkles from Taylored Expressions for the centers of the sparklers. I also made some with Stickles in the center for variety as well.
A quick and easy 5 minute card with a bit of sparkle all set for the holiday.
And that's all the time I have today. We're off to a barbeque shortly and hoping the weather improves. Yet more rain last night and today has sidelined us a bit.
Have a great day!
Love this card. Super cute.

What a perfect card for July 4th. I love clean and simple cards. Great job and Happy July 4th. We have been getting the same weather in Toronto - I am so tired of the rain - but my grass is beautiful!

Oh that is fab with the sparklers and the sentiment to go with. The Twinkles from Taylor I can see how these would work here...I dismissed them as being too teeny to work with. Hope the weather holds up for ya'.
