Simply Sparkle Texture Paste

Hi Bloggers.

I'm demoing at the Strikes Garden Centre in Carlise today 10am till 4pm. Do pop in and say hello if you're in the area. I left home at 10.30am yesterday and was booked into my hotel just after 5pm. So glad I left early as I dread to think how long it would have taken if I had left after lunch like I usually do. I parked a bit here and there on the M6 but overall not toooooo bad! The hills in the Lakes and the Dales looked beautiful in the dappled sunlight.

As the title of this post suggests, this is a really simple card made with Sparkle Texture Paste -

I've spread some Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Frosty Mink Sparkle Texture Paste through the Baubles Mask onto Milk Card. Once dry, I inked around the edges with PM CS Frosty Mink Colour Cloud Ink using a Smoothie.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Peace on Earth Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Frosty Mink Colour Cloud Blending Ink via a Smoothie. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Romantic Labels Two Die and inked through the die with the Frosty Mink Colour Cloud.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

    Beautiful card Julia. Hope you have a better triip back, I had a trip up North from South this week and it was also a nightmare. I'm very jealous of people living up North, they seem to get all the best presenters demoing. Are you at Ally Pally this year?

    How effective is that! Just looked to see if the mask is available and think I will need to purchase. On my list for Ally Pally! Have a good day.
    Lovely ride past The Lakes either on the train or M6.

    What a beautiful card, love the colours too. So pleased that you had a reasonable journey, the M6 on a Friday can be awful. Love the lakes!
    Hope you have a great demo day and safe journey home.

    I did precisely this a couple of weeks ago but it didn't come anywhere near as good as yours; but then I don't have your experience so perhaps practice will make perfect!!!!!! Your card is so nice that I know I will try again

    A long journey for you Julia but the roads are always extra busy on the Friday before a bank holiday weekend. I hope you enjoy your day at Carlisle - my grandson went to uni there. Love today's card, I can imagine how much it glitters in real life - if only cameras could capture sparkle! Pat x
