Faith Believes What It Does Not See 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 new Aster Garden Digital Stamp set.

For these cards, I used the pre-colored version of the Aster stamp. To frame it, I used a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval die and covered it with Golden Sparkle embossing powder.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the ribbon is from DL.ART.

I used Tear-ific Tape ½” to attach the lace to the top and bottom of the card.

I used a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen on the image for gorgeous sparkle. I love these pens!!

The sentiment is from the Aster Garden Digital set, cut out with a Sue Wilson Pierced Banner die. The edges were tapped with Versamark and then embossed with Gold Detail embossing powder.

Using Tear-ific Tape 2” over cardstock, I cut the butterflies out with Fiskars punches. The top butterfly was embossed with Gold Detail embossing powder, and the bottom one was covered with Luau Green glitter.

I am entering these in the following challenges:

1) Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
2) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday ~ Anything Goes

MY PRIZE!!

I am giving away a Lemoncraft Yesterday 6x6 Paper Stack...the latest release from Lemoncraft, and the papers I've used on my project today!! I will ship anywhere :)

MY PROJECT!!

Since we are celebrating Janis' blog birthday, I created two celebrate shaker cards. I've used Lemoncraft's Yesterday papers, which you can find in my Etsy Store HERE. To cut the frame for the shaker, I used a Frantic Stamper Art Deco Frame. Celebrate is a Penny Black Doodles die.

The ribbon is from DL.ART (use the code LF222 for a 10% discount) and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tucked under the flowers and cut with Lemoncraft Leaves paper (in my ETSY store HERE) are Memory Box Chloe Stems, Sue Wilson Orange Blossom Leaves, and Concord & 9th Layering Leaves. I added prills for texture, too. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the butterflies have been brushed with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss pen for sparkle.

I filled this shaker with Tonic Studios Nuvo Pure Sheen Cross My Heart Glitter.

This one was filled with Tonic Studios Nuvo Pure Sheen Peacock Feathers.

Swing by and see what everyone else on the hop created to help celebrate Pause Dream Enjoy's 10th birthday. You are sure to be inspired. And don't forget to leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win!! Here is the Blog Hop Line-Up:
