Add Some Sparkle

Hello there!

It's the 7th of November and that means it time for a new challenge at

Creative Craft Cottage

 The Theme is 

 

Add Some Sparkle 

We do not have a sponsor for this challenge but we will still be awarding Winner and Top 3 Badges

Aww, who's doesn't like to adde a little sparkle to their project?

Right?

I created a card using a digi from

Molly Harrison Fairy Coloring Book.

This book is digital and includes 25 images.

If you love fairies you should check it out!

I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils

and added glitter glue to the fairy wings.

The dress was covered with a clear sparkle pen as well.

I also used a little glitter gel pen to the stars.

The card base is covered with 2 glitter papers.

Here is a closer view of the image to show the sparkle

which is rather hard to see in the full photo.

We'd love to see your "Add Some Sparkle" projects!

I hope you'll join us.
