Good morning everyone........I'm back and what strange times we find ourselves in since my last post.
I hope that you and yours are all safe and have had no health issues with this devastating and evil virus. So sad to see the rising number of deaths. Its also sad, when on my daily walk, seeing teenagers flouting the social distancing rules, probably thinking that they are invincible but as we see from the new, they most certainly are not.
Anyhoo, onto a lighter subject, its time for another challenge over at MAWTT and this month, its my choice of theme which is.................................................
Use diamante embellishment
Now, this can be a single feature diamante piece or several bits of sparkle.
My card was one I gave to Nesta for a special birthday last year (I won't say which one as she will give me a virtual slap - due to social distancing).
Ingredients
White and gold linen card
SB Tribal Borders dies
JND sentiment die
Diamante and pearl brooch
Bling on a string
This is an 8x8 card and I appreciate that it will be a bit too glizty for some but Nesta is a bit of a magpie so I blinged it up. The brooch is detachable so its the gift that keeps on giving.
Nesta did love it so all's good.
I'm sure that you are all spending a bit more time in the craft room at the moment so make something schparkly and come and join in at MAWTT or at least pop over and see what we have come up with to inspire you in the bling department.
I will be back in a couple of days with an update about life at The Pond..................don't groan, I will try and make it interesting 😀😀😀.
Meantime, keep well, stay safe and take care.
TTFN

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Ang. I like something sparkly. Very quiet here. Trying to get some motivation. Thought I would be doing
ReplyDeleteLots of crafting but can’t get the mojo working. I am usually a last minute person. Wait until something is needed but with all this time that has disappeared. Take care.x
It is a stunner and I bet Nesta loved it, x
ReplyDeleteKeep safe Ang and your Lee, xxxx
Hi Ang,
ReplyDeletewhat a fab theme I really enjoyed this one as I often say I must have been a Magpie sometime before as I too love sparkle and lots of it.
Love your very stunning card it's so opulent and gorgeous.
Love all the wonderful Gold and the inlays of Gold too.
It alsmost looks like the wonderful cover of an Album not a card.
Stay safe as you say people are flouting the rules you think their self preservation would kick in wouldn't you.
My next door neighbour goes out in a Taxi evey day and she isn't NHS or such she is retired, and has heart problems.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Okiedokie then! What a simply gorgeous and stunning card, let me first say. I now see that "Diamante Embellishment" is a Brit thing more than American, so this Southern Yankee was confused when I saw it was the latest challenge at MAWTT. I Googled and saw mostly UK websites. Then I snapped to looking at your sample since it is Mrs. Duck's theme! Yes, I am slow heehee...but thorough! Okay, so if I go with pearls and clear rhinestones clusters, I'm pretty darn close I hope! Thanks for the challenge! XOX
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous,
