FIRST STAMPALOT CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone

Well it is halfway through April .. .. the month that Sir Stampalot launched their first monthly challenge.

I decided it was time I made a creation based on their theme of "Fantasy".

Now this can be interpreted anyway you would like .. .. and below is my idea of a fantasy .. .. a whole world that "sparkles with glitter"!!!!! Glittery butterflies (how cool would that be) - glittery clothes - glittery flowers.

Here is my creation:

This used:

Background stamp: Basic Grey "Two Scoops/Swirlie Stamps"
Image: Lili of the Valley
Embossing Tinsel "Bridal"
X-Cut Butterfly Punch
Martha Stewart Punch: Stars
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
ProMarkers
Chalk
Craftime Ultra Fine Glitter
Brads, Pearls, Flowers, Heart and funky sparkly cord from the stash box

Oh .. .. what a long list .. .. most of which involves sparkle LOL!!!

If you haven't already taken part in this challenge then it is well worth entering because just look what you can win .. .. ..



A Personal Electronic Cutter and a Pooh Font Cartridge .. .. now is that a prize or is that a prize????

Right then off to de-glitter and clear my craft space of sparkle because at the minute it doesn't matter what I do or touch sparkle flies through the air!!! It is all over my face, my clothes, my hair .. .. .. LOL!!

Most of the glitter has appeared because I embossed the background paper with Embossing Tinsel and then used a glue pen to draw around some of the swirls and sprinkled more glitter onto this. I also covered a strip of double sided tape with it too !!! You may not be able to see all the glitter and sparkle .. .. but believe me there is lots of it!!!! Clicking on the photograph shows a bit more (hopefully).

Have a super sparkly Friday everyone.

Love Jules xx

    Good Afternoon Jules

    I am so pleased to see you here at Stampalot Challenge and what a fabulous piece or artwork.

    Of course there should be lots of glitter, isn't that what makes the world go round, or is that just in us crafters fantasy worlds ?

    Either way, I'm 100% with you that everything needs at least a touch of sparkle.

    Thank you so much for joining in with our Stampalot challenge.

    Hi Jules. I'm drooling over this gorgeous LOTV fairy, she is on my wish list and I just adore her. Your colours are gorgeous and all the sparkle is perfect as is the little charm heart.
    Hope you have a great weekend.
