Morning guys. Well I must say that I am most impressed with The Glitter Pot's new premises as it is absolutely HUGE!! The Glitter Pot team must have been working overtime as I couldn't believe how straight it was looking and how much stock they had got out and organised already - what an achievement!! They still have lots to do to get it just how they want it with sorting out some of the other rooms and putting in a lift etc... but at least they are back up and running again. Their new classroom is sooooo much bigger than their last one and has a lovely feel to it.
My thanks to everyone who stopped by my table yesterday and kept me company! It is always lovely to see some friendly faces!
Well onto todays card and I thought I'd have a go at entering another challenge! This time I'm entering the
Belles and Whistles Glitter and Pearls challenge and have used a B&W stamp called
Wishes. (As I think we all know by now I just LOVE these stamps and
The Craft Barn now have all the latest ones in too and I'm definitely wanting them all!!) The wording and background flourishes on the card were taken from my
Fancy Flourishes stamp sheet.
You'll notice that I am getting some use out of my Martha Stewart punches too as I have used the
Floral Lace Edging Punch and the
Monarch Butterfly on this card. The
Sweet Pear paper is from the Double Dots range by Bo Bunny - just love these papers as they go with anything and are great to stamp over too!
I punched the Monarch Butterflies out from
Tutu Double Dots Bo Bunny paper and added a little touch of colour to them using my
Copic markers. Self-adhesive pearls were used for their bodies. I hand drew the wiggly frame around the main panel using the fine end of a
Sepia Marvy Marker and then traced over it with Platinum glitter glue.
The
wishing well image was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured in using my
Copic markers. You can't see it very well from this photo but I also added a delicate sky area around the Wishing Well too using Copic markers in B63 and B60. To add some glimmer I coloured selected areas using
Copic Spica pens and then added touches of Diamond glitter glue.
The whole card was then sprayed with
Iridescent Gold glimmer mist so lots of different layers of glimmer and sparkle happened on this card! Everything used on this card came from
The Craft Barn except for the Retro Flower punch and the Sepia pen.
Anyway hope you like it!

I can't wait to visit the Glitter Pot's new premises, looks great in the photos. As usual your card is stunning, will copy a few ideas from this one. xxx
It sounds like you had a great time, Kay. Just wish I lived nearer so I could come along.
Your card, as always, is just beautiful.
