Hi there blog friends ~ It's time for another challenge at Addicted to CAS. Our Hostess for this challenge is the super sweet and incredibly talented Sarah, who also chose the Code Word for us! And, Happy Little Stampers is sponsoring this challenge with a $20.00 Gift Card to the store!
Let's get this party started ~ Here is my first card:
You might recognize this stamp set from PTI's 2015 Stamp-A-Faire...it is an exclusive set filled with pretty little flowers and lovely sentiments to go with the main images...so elegant. I tried to create an ombre effect on the dress with shadow ink and white pigment ink, but it's not reading well on my screen. Also, it's difficult to see all the sparkle on screen, but I added a few clear mini gemstones to the dress and a strip of glitter cardstock along the bottom angle...very sparkly in person :)
I apologize, but there is no link to this stamp set in the PTI store, so it is not included in the Inlinkz below.
*****
For this card, I did some partial stenciling, then stamped the sentiment in gray and die cut the word in glitter cardstock. I added a few Rainstones from PTI and, that was it ~ crisp, clean and simple, just the way I like it :)
I hope I've inspired you to join us in this week's challenge...if so, head right on over to the Addicted to CAS Blog, and see what my teamies have created!
Thanks so much for stopping by...and thank you for all of your sweet comments ~ I really appreciate it!
Both cards are really lovely Barb. Full of wonderful sparkle.

ReplyDeletelovely set of cards, barb... I love the subtle sparkle on the first one! I was just looking at that PTI Fashion Sense stamp set and thinking that I needed to ink it up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful times two! On the first card, I was drawn to the strip of glitter along the bottom angle ....what a great added detail!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful sparkling cards, Barb! Love that elegant lady with her flowing skirt! Great die on the 2nd!
ReplyDeleteYour sparkly cards are both so very pretty. And, you remind me that I got that PTI set and completely forgot about it. Can you believe that? I'd better find it.
ReplyDeleteWow, Barb, a duo of eye-catching cards! The image in the first is so lovely; I want that dress in my wardrobe! And your sparkling "Sparkle" in the second...sooooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
The first card is ideal! The whole layout made me look only at the girl. I really liked simple colour scheme you used, it looks so stylish (Dior?)
ReplyDeletePink stencilled pattern and silver sparkling sentiment is just a beautiful combination!
Both cards are gorgeous Barb! I love the retro feel of the lady in the flowing dress. And the sparkle card is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo much gorgeous sparkle! That stamp on your first card is so divine, it immediately reminds me of the 1950's, such a stylish era. Love all the sparkly gems you've used on your cards too, they make such a wonderful twinkle!!
ReplyDeleteIf you ask me
ReplyDeleteI ADORE SOOO much the fist card

I love both cards, but the first is stunning. It reminds me of Audrey Hepburn! The sequins are beautifully placed, too.
