...with love!
The month is zooming by and here we are almost in the middle of December! Can you believe it? Let's just jump into the goods, ok? Today is BellaRIFFIC friday and that means a challenge... did you all get your "bling on"?
When I was in Toronto for the CreativFestival, there was a booth across from Bella. This woman was doing demos with Glitter Ritz, it's micro fine glitter that gets applied and then when you rub it, it feels like velvet. I can tell you that is stays right where it's supposed to and you don't pick it up and turn into a disco ball. I, myself had purchased this Glitter Ritz at Bella, back in June...the colors were just out of this world! There are a ton of them to pick from and if you like dazzle, you won't be sorry. Why am I telling you this, because I bought the product and really didn't know how to truely use it. I was planning on sprinkling it on like my Glamour Dust. Nope...you used a double sided adhesive, available in different widths, and apply the glitter to that. Burnish with a piece of paper, your finger, and voila... you will not be able to look away, it's that shimmery! I promise! Here's what I did the other night...
I colored ornamenty lamp in beigy/goldy/brown colors. I wanted "classy holiday", a little over the top maybe. So I lay the doublesided adhesive down and then poured on the glitter! A picture will never, never do this justice for the sparkle. {but you get the idea, heh?}
Nothing changed here folks...I colored on Bella's bestest paper with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol. The golden snowflake paper is from Graphic 45 and the reason I colored this the way I did. I added Rangers Glossy Accents to the ornaments, for some dimension. The sentiment is from my own hands.
We had last week off from a challenge, so I am looking forward to plenty of fresh ideas this week! hehe I really like "bling" it's just hard for Paula to do, I am a total "plain jane" kinda gal! Check out Emily and all the other Babes later to see who knows how to sparkle with class!
Saturday I will be spending the day at Flushmate...more money in my pocket, less coloring for my soul! Jim and Jordan are heading to his sisters for a day of baking. {Jim does make some pretty good choc. chip cookies, but I think more or less...he is a taste tester for the girls!} Until I see you again...happy weekend...
