My second card today was created for the latest Just Us Girls Challenge. I love the idea of using sparkly and shiny things on my card. My daughter calls it bling. A girl just can't have too much bling, right? To create my card I started by edging a piece of white cardstock with Versamark and sprinkling on some Ranger embossing powder in gold. After heat setting the powder and letting it cool, I adhered the panel directly onto my card base. I then die cut a panel of gold foil ikat patterned paper from The Paper Studio The Shoppe On The Square 4x6 paper pad using a stitched rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs. I adhered that directly onto my heat embossed panel. I die cut the heart using an Essentials By Ellen folk heart die and stamped the hello sentiment from the Winnie & Walter The Big, The Bold, and The Happy stamp set and heat embossed it using the same embossing powder. To finish my card I simply popped the heart up using some 3M foam tape. Love how simple this card was to create. I hope you like it too!

This is fabulous! Love how you heat embossed the edges of the card base and the sentiment to match. Very cool and shiny patterned background. Thanks for playing along with us at JUGS!
I love the BLING!! Beautiful background, Celeste.
Celeste, You had me with the bling... but then you really had it with your W&W hello sentiment. Those big, bold stamp sets are still my favorite fonts of all time. What a fun card, my friend!
This shimmer on this is fabulous Celeste! Marvelous card!
This must be blindingly gorgeous in real life, Celeste! It's a simple card, but it has a lot of impact! Someone is going to love getting this hello in the mail! Thank you for playing at JUGS!! Hugs, Darnell
Definitely can never have too much bling! I bet this just shimmers and shines in real life!
I really like your design here!!! Using the embossing powder on the edge is genius, it always matches your greeting that way. And using the foiled patterned paper is perfect. Great take on the challenge, thanks so much for playing along with us this week over at Just Us Girls!!
