I have several 6x6 pads of glitter paper in my stash, and I love the way die cut images glisten when I use those papers. They worked especially well with dies such as these little "Chirping Birds" dies from our sponsor, Poppystamps. I love how the red just pops against the blue sky! In this scene, I also went for the glistening snow along with my glistening birds.
Supplies:
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp (Friendship Messages); Hero Arts (Long Shadow)
Dies: Poppystamps (Chirping Birds); Memory Box (Resting Birds); Spellbinders
(Shapeabilities Mix'd Media Elements)
Inks: MFT (Black Licorice); Tumbled Glass distress ink; brown Copic marker
Other: red glitter paper; white foam; white Enamel Accents
Since I used a NBUS die (that cool Spellbinders branch), I'm entering this card into Darnell's Blog Birthaversary NBUS Challenge #9! Be sure to stop by her blog to check it out as well as to wish her happy 46th wedding anniversary, happy 5th blog birthaversary, and happy 1,000 followers and 1,000 posts! (Lots to celebrate, that's for sure!)
I'm also entering this into the current challenge at AAA Cards: CAS Game #82 - Winter Chill. These birds could be sitting on this branch in any one of those snowy trees!
So, what does GLISTEN mean to you? I hope you will play along! Be sure to link up your GLISTEN card by noon on Monday (Central time). You will also be inspired by the many ways our Design Team interpreted the cue this week...I hope you'll check out their blogs, too!
What a sweet card! Love the snow on the branch.
