365 Cards Sketchy Sunday 12/20

I am actually typing this up on Saturday night, because I plan to be in church this morning. I pray this stupid cold does not keep me home. Today is our special music service called the Cantata. I look forward to it every year. I had to miss my dh and ds perform "Silent Night" on Wednesday. I was really bummed. But they may get to do it again on Christmas Eve, so that makes me happy! My son composed the music and I am so proud of him. My husband brings you to tears with his amazing voice. And he's cute! (wink)

Ok, enough of that! Here is Pam's sketch for 365 Cards Sketchy Sunday.

I took some major liberties with this baby! But...sometimes you get an idea and have to run with it! I need all of you to sit down before you peek at this card, however...because...I used LOOSE GLITTER! GASP! You know I must have been under the influence of medication....or some of Pam's "special" coffee!

I started out with this glittery piece of Best Creation paper - they make all sorts of Christian-inspired paper. I love the glittery poinsettias on this paper. So I added glitter to the sentiment by dipping the edges of the paper in glue, then pouring on the loose glitter. I did the same for the flowers...brushed a thin coat of glue and poured on glitter. Oh yeah. I had glitter EVERYWHERE!

The brad is pre-glittery...Doodlebug I think. I've had bad luck getting glitter to stick to brads. I have better luck with the glittery embossing powder.

The cute image is Close to My Heart. I colored it with Stampin' Up markers. I edged the circle with brown and blue chalk in. I love my Nesties. I use them for almost every card. I'd "die" without them. Get it?! Snort giggle.

This card is also for the Play Date Cafe color challenge: blue, gold, cream.

Check back tomorrow for my Monday challenge. It was a hard one! I was pretty sticky when I finished....

    Your card is beautiful! I'm glad you preformed some rebel crafting here! Looking at the sketch, it feels in my bones to cheat here a little....if you understand me...

    I love the way you colored the image. and you know I "die" for those flowers! please remember to add some of them to the choclate you put in my gift bag... LOL
