ALL THE THINGS I LOVE CHALLENGE AT the Sparkle and Glitter Challenge Blog

ALL THE THINGS I LOVE
is the theme of the challenge over at the Sparkle and Glitter (Rick St Dennis) Challenge Blog.

This card, featuring an image by Rick ST Dennis called 1935 Hat, represents so many things I love in cardmaking (not all cos there is not enough space on one card to show you that!)



Y....

images with beautiful faces and expressive eyes
colouring using alcohol markers
my white gel pen for highlights
dies
fabulous DP's
sequins and beads sewn onto my cards using invisible thread
Stickles
sprays of flowers and curling tendrils
and
bling, bling and more bling

and I have now discovered one more for the list ....

Rick St Dennis images!!!

Isn't this one a beauty!

  2. Absolutely ADORE this card Jen! Reminds me of the Rembrandt paintings with only certain areas highlighted and the rest darker, to show emphasis. You should frame this one!

  4. This is a truly beautiful card! It's such a gorgeous image and I like how you've added elements to your card to reflect the details of the image, such as the tulle, the red flowers and all the bling. Love it! I came over from MIM to have a closer look.
