Fashionista for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone and happy Saturday!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog and I have a couple of cards to share with you today featuring the newly released Fashionista stamp set.

SNS is starting something new this month. Instead of a traditional blog hop, the designers will begin showcasing the new stamp sets on the 5th of each month, and a winner of a $20 gift certificate to shop at SNS will be chosen at the end of each month. The winner will be chosen from comments left on both the SNS Blog and a mystery designer's blog.

Here is the Fashionista...isn't she adorable??!! Using a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, I stamped her with a Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and then embossed her with Black Detail Embossing Powder. She was then colored with watercolor paints.

Using inspiration from my sweet blog friend Beebeebabs, who always adds bling to jewelry on her images (which I love!!), I used a Nuvo Glue Pen Smooth Precision on the purse buckle and bracelets, and then embossed them with Gold Detail Embossing Powder.

I also used Versamark along the edges and then embossed them with the same Gold Detail Embossing Powder. Then I sprinkled Ice Rink , Gold Detail and Super Thick White Embossing Powders and heat embossed them for some added color and texture. In the background, I used 1/2 Tear-ific Tape and covered it with Glass Glitter Oceanic.

The Prima Doily was cut with a Super Adhesive Sheet and then covered with Golden Sparkle Glitter. Fashionista was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold Detail Embossing Powder. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

For a finishing touch, I added Sea Breeze Nuvo Jewel Drops.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1) Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Girl Power
2) Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
3) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday - Anything Goes

Be sure to leave a comment both here and then head on over to the SNS Blog and leave a comment there as well for your chance to win a $20 gift card to SNS!! One lucky winner will be chosen from one of the Designers' posts on the last day of each month!! There will be new projects on the SNS Blog every day to increase your chances of winning!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great day :)
