But then I was wandering the aisles of Michaels yesterday and they had their own line of glitter dots (on sale!) - and one of the packages had the PERFECT colors for this challenge!
The Paper Players challenge that came out today was a sketch - and with the three stripes it was the perfect backdrop to this patriotic card.
- Stamps: Studio G small clear set (in the $1 bin at Michaels but at least a year ago)
- Ink: Stampin' Up Brilliant Blue, copics
- Paper: Stampin' Up Brilliant Blue, Tempting Turquoise, Poppy Parade, Bashful Blue
- Accessories: Star punch, Michaels brand Glitter Shapes, Nestabilities ovals
Wow Kim, I just love how you used the sketch this week and those new glitter brads look amazing on this card! Thanks for joining us at the Paper Players!

ReplyDeleteLove the boldness of the card!!! Those glitter dots are great!! Thanks for playing with us this week at the Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is amazing. I really like the USA ribbon.
ReplyDeleteWe don't do so much in the way of patriotic cards in the UK - maybe we should!!
Beautiful, Kim! I love how bold this is! Thanks for playing with us at CQC! I always love to see what you do :)
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Kim! I'm so glad you came across those glitter dots and decided to play along. Such a great use of the colors and sketch! Thanks for playing along at the ColourQ this week!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the Patriotic color challenges. I got that way with all the Father's Day themed challenges out there as I don't shine with masculine cards. however, I'm glad you had second thoughts because this came out great!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Kim. Love how you used the sketch...great job! :)

Well now ... aren't you glad you did this colour challenge now??? I think you nailed it. Sigh ... I wish we had a Michaels here in AUS! I love those glitter dots ... and I am hoarding a pack of silver half pearls that I got from a friend. Where I live ... is limited access to craft stores! Well done, Kim! Hugs xxaxx
ReplyDeleteWell, you nailed these two challenges---you used both the colors and the sketch to a wonderful advantage! SUPER choice of images, papers & embellishments!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card Kim - those glitter dots were a perfect inspiration. Great design. :)
ReplyDeleteKim, this card is amazing! LOVE your stunning take on the sketch. Your clean lines are gorgeous and you added embellishments that pack a punch! Delightful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on the challenge. It's fabulous how you pulled the two challenges together. Fabulous patriotic card.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you shared it with the Paper Players this week.
