Exciting News!

I won a challenge last month over at the Dazzling Diva's Challenge, and Monica asked me to JOIN the team!! I happily complied and this is my first gig.

The challenge this week is to use vellum.

Check out my background!  Monica has a company, Add A Little Dazzle and she carries the super fun craft metal sheets.  These are such a fun product that really does add elegance to a card.  For today's card, I embossed the sheet metal, and then sanded off the color of the embossed portion.  I think it's very pretty.  Meanwhile, my sentiment [Dare 2B Artzy, Fancy Notes] I stamped on vellum, and is embossed with gold powder.

While I used the metal sheet, you don't have to for the challenge.  However, if you do use them, you get entered twice for the prize!  Pop on over to Dazzling Diva's to see the prize, along with the other Team Members samples, then, play along!  I would love to see your entry.


Thanks for stopping by~

Wow ... gorgeous card Vicki!! Congrats on your new DT gig ... you are one busy crafter!! :)

I have long admired Monica's metal sheets, but unfortunately, the shipping to Canada is so expensive. Please put in a good word or me, to have her expand to the Canadian market. Loll xx
