I told my friends about a card I made that used a lot of rhinestones....a whole heck of a lot of rhinestones. I think something was lost in my description because they seemed to think that you wouldn't be able to see the papers or stamps underneath all the bling. I am posting the finished card so that you can be the judge. All I can say is that it catches the light spectacularly and makes me so happy every time I look at it. What can I say, I love my bling!
To make the card, I stamped the new Spriggle stamp (C1259) onto eggshell paper using black VersaFine ink. I then added a mixture of skyblue, lagoon, pistachio, and grass green jewels to the card in every place that there was an open circle on the Spriggle image. I then layered my piece onto some paper from the Glitterati pack and added the oh happy day (B1216) saying.
If you are not quite as "bling happy" as myself, you could alter the card by using less jewels and adding then sporadically over the Spriggles. Another variation would be to stamp an individual Spriggle instead of a whole line of them and then deck out the solitary image in as many jewels as you can find.
Wow that is a lot of bling - it's gorgeous!
