To Die or to Punch

Hello!  Since it is Wednesday, that means it is time for another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week our challenge theme is Dies Cuts and/or Punches.  I tend to go for die cuts.  How about you?  Which is your favorite?

Our youngest daughter graduates from college next month.  I know it will be a crazy time, so I thought I would get her card done now.  I saw Graduation Girl from Kenny K and just knew she was perfect for the card.  I colored her with Copics and cut her out using the silhouette.  I have to admit to almost forgetting the die cut!  I had to take Graduation Girl off of the card to add it in.  I even used some of the negative pieces from the die cut as embellishments.

I also used some papers from The Paper Temptress on this card.  I wish I could have gotten a better photograph because they are so fabby in real life!  The base card is the Retro Silver Lustre and the black is the Laser Black Glossy Lustre. Both give such a fabulous impact because of their laser embossed pattern.  They have so much shimmer and shine in real life.

We have three wonderful sponsors for you this week.  You can pop over to each shop by clicking the badges below.  But don't say I didn't warn you.  Your wish list will fill up fast!

Got to Sparkle!

Our new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner is Sparkle and Glitter.  We want to see your most sparkly glitter and gems!

One big problem with sparkle is it is SO hard to photograph!  The other big problem with sparkle is that you find it on your face for days!!  I used BBKakes Flower Boy from Stitchy Bear's Digital Outlet and colored him with Copics.  I used a Wink of Stella clear pen to add some glitter to the flowers.  The small glitter heart is a button that I glittered myself.  Just dab your button on a glue pad and glitter away.  The polka dot paper is actually a glitter paper as well.  If you click on the picture you might be able to see it.  Love this kind of glitter!  It is trapped and stays where it is supposed to!  I pulled the legs off of some glitter brads and glued them in the corners.  That way I didn't have to hide the legs on the inside. =)

We have two wonderful sponsors this week.  You can click on the badges to visit the shops and have a look around.
