A Bit of Sparkle for Sparkles

Morning all.  Today we have the last Sparkles Monthly Challenge of 2019 and, appropriately enough, we want to see some 'sparkle and shine' on your creations.

I have to admit to being pretty chuffed with my card.  As I am in the middle of trying to create my Christmas Cards for this year, and most people will be very surprised to get one as I am usually to late to bother, I have lots of bits of glitter card and metallic card left on my desk (and all over the floor and stuck to my clothing).  I gathered some of these scraps together and cut them into little strips and stuck them to some scrap card.  I then ran it through my die cutter with a stitched rectangle die and stuck it to a card blank.  I threaded a snowflake charm onto shiny silver thread and mounted it onto a black label that I had die cut.  Voila!  A simple card full of sparkle and shine made out of bits that would normally be thrown in the bin.


I really love how this turned out. I need to make more off cuts so I can do it again.  The picture isn't very clear but the black strips and some of the silver are glitter card.  I promise it sparkles so much in real life.

Please pop over and join in the fun.  After all, it's nearly Christmas so it's very appropriate to Sparkle.

Thanks for reading.
