CYP Challenge #150

***If you are looking for OWH's Virtual Cardmaking Party, scroll down one post***

It's Monday, which means it's time for Craft You Passion's weekly challenge.  We are on challenge #150.  Wow!  This week's challenge is Use Glitter!  It is sponsored by StampFairy World which generously donated the image "Mimi Stars" for me to use:

In honor of President's Day, I decided to make a patriotic card for heroes overseas.  In case you didn't know, glitter can ruin a soldier's camouflage and make him easy to spot.  That's no good for a card thanking our heroes, so I sealed the glitter with Glossy Accents-ta da! No glitter flake off which means I can send this off to make a soldier smile.

Be sure to join the fun this week at Craft Your Passion.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.

OWH's President's Day Virtual Cardmaking Party!

It's OWH's annual Virtual Cardmaking Party.  (If you just stumbled upon this and want to join in the fun, go HERE.)  Aren't you just having a blast making all these cards?  I love how all these challenges stretch my creativity and force me out of my comfort zone a bit.  Hopefully this next challenge will make you stretch a bit more.  My challenge for you is:

Glitz and Glam Without Glitter

Make a glamorous card that is glitter-safe for our heroes.  Remember, glitter cards can ruin a soldier's camouflage  and we want our heroes to be safe, so NO glitter.  You can use all sorts of other embellishments to get a glitter effect that is still hero safe.  Here's some inspiration for you:

Supplies Used:  Paper-Jillian Bean, Rhinestones-American Crafts, Stamps-The Alley Way Stamps "Awesome Blossom"

Hope that gives you some ideas.  Can't wait to see what you come up with!
