CAS Christmas August Reminder - Glitter

Happy Saturday everyone.  Just poppin' in with the reminder post for this month's CAS Christmas Glitter challenge.


I just couldn't help myself and made another critter no peeking card.


Stamped the peeking bear image with Copic friendly black ink on Copic friendly cardstock.  Coloured with Copcs then masked it.  Applied Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers distress ink with a mini blending tool to the background.  Spritz with a DIY shimmer spray for some sparkle.  Black heat embossed the sentiment (retired) with clear glitter embossing powder.


Die cut the hexagon frame twice from white scraps and once from white glitter paper then stacked them.  Adhered it over the image piece and trimmed away the excess with scissors.  Next took a dark gray panel from my stash and blended Black Soot distress ink at the top before splattering with white acrylic paint.  Assembled the card onto a white top folding card base and added clear shimmer to the purple areas to finish.


Are you ready to join in, if you haven't already?  For more inspirations from my team and our guest Michelle (Seashell Creations), click HERE.  The challenge runs for one more week and ends on August 24.  Thank you for visiting.

Love this peeking bear with his purple hat, Trina! Fantastic contrast of color with the sponged background and I love how you've darkened the top of the card and splattered the white paint! Such a fun card, my friend!

ADORABLE! You have the BEST critter images and make the most of them. LOVE the way you've masked and added that gorgeous blue background. The framing is sweet and great details with adding a dark gray card front with black sponging at the top. The "snow" really shows up well. Great design! xx

I LOVE your adorable bear peeking out the window, Trina! (And the sentiment says “No peeking”!)
It must be so sparkly and glittery in real life. The white acrylic paint snow spattering is just perfect.
