Love the green eyeshadow and the hose! Awesome! Here's a trick (you may already know)... I love buying paper stacks but hate the sticky that's left after pulling off those oval seals to keep the pack closed. If you sprinkle some baby powder on the stickiness, the sticky is GONE and it smells nice. Voila! :) Janis northrose@slowar.com

Very cute card! I'm now a follower too.

Sandy Hentzel said...

cute card! i have wayyy too many fav crafting things to pick just one.. a cool trick i just saw the other day (cant remember where) but an easy way to make metal looking embellishments is to use a glue stick and put foil on a piece of cardstock and cute it to whatever you want it to be and use some ink to color it. i thought it was pretty cool. thanks for sharing your card and for the chance to win!

Vanessa said...

I love the sentiment that you've used. I also like all the bold colors. :) Hmmm technique. My favorite right now is adding distress ink to the outside of everything. I will add it to a cricut cut or a stamped image. Once I add it there it has to go every where else because if not it doesn't look done to me. This year I would like to try quilling. I've seen it a few times and love the technique.

Love this fabulous girl card! The sparkle skirt rock ;) My favorite way to adhere glitter is to use 3M spray adhesive. It turns out awesome every time.

Lilygirl said...

Hi!! I love your card and the colors you chose. My favorite crafty tool has to be my Gypsy. But I love embossing folders, Distress ink and Glossy Accents as well. My favorite trick is to use Glossy Accents Matte finish as an adhesive for ultra-fine glitter and flocking. I apply the glossy accents with my finger on a diecut piece, let it dry a bit until tacky (for a couple mins) and then apply the glitter or flocking, this has worked super well for me. No more patchy glitter/flocking jobs!! Thanks for the chance to win!! Hugs, Colleen laysig at telus.net

Love your card! One of my favorite crafting items is the ink you buy either Cat's Eye or the $1.00 bin stuff at Michael's. I always ink the edges of everything so these come in super handy and since they are so inexpensive, it's easy to get every color you could possibly need! Thanks for the giveaway!

Adorable card! I just love the stamp and all the detail that you put into your project. My favorite tool is my Cricut Expression. I dont know if I have any spiffy technique. I like to make extra die cuts and store them in a container. That way if I have to make a quick card...I just have to add paper, ribbon, a stamp, bling....and get it in the mail.

Lisa J said...

I am still pretty new to all of this so no tricks of my own up my sleeves just yet! But stickles, and bling be my thing! :D I have been using glossy accents on quite a bit of projects lately as I LOVE how it brings out the color in whatever it is on and gives the 3D look.
I still have to use this cart! I have had it and seeing this card REALLY makes me want to use it now! Your card is AMAZING!
