All That Glitter

I hope you'll join us for Challenge #88 at Shopping Our Stash.   The challenge this week is all about BLING!   Use your oldest bling: rhinestones, Stickles, glitter, etc.   I love adding bling to my cards!   But going with the oldest, I had to dig out my small collection of Art Institute Glitter.   The little vials of colored sparkle have not been used in a very long time.  (And with the mess I made, now I remember why!) 

Here's the outside of my card:

I started with a black card base and then a white layer.  I added a strip of washi tape across the white layer.  The xylophone image is from Paper Smooches: "Knick Knacks".   After stamping it in Memento ink I colored it in with Bic markers and then very carefully, one section at a time,  added some glue and then colored glitter.  I mounted the white image panel onto black and then popped it up with dimensionals.  Oh, I added some Crystal Effects to the "sticks", although you can't tell from this photo.  The sentiment is also from Paper Smooches: Sentiment Sampler.

Because the card base was black I also added a white layer to the inside of the card: 

I used the Top Note die to cut the layer and added a sparkly Jolee's note sticker in the corner.



Off to stamp some more!
