Positively Chevron for Paper Players #150

Well hello there stamping friends! Long time, no blog, eh? I am back from a wee blogging vacation and really excited to get back into my craft room once again. I am the challenge hostess this week over at the Paper Players and it's all about my favorite embellishment : BLING! We are focusing on Clean-and Simple (CAS) projects showing off the sparkle. I hope you will join us and play along. 

For my card, I used some brand new Stampin' Up! products that just came out in the 2013-2014 catalog. I LOVE the Positively Chevron background stamp and couldn't wait to get it inked up. I used VersaMark ink and them embossed the image with Heat and Stick Powder. Then sprinkled a whole bunch of fine silver glitter all over the patterns and there you go...a background that truly packs a sparkly punch. The colors are new as well: Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana.

I originally had used the light bulb image from the Crazy, Mixed Up Love stamp set, that went with the sentiment. I just felt like the card needed more dimension, so a simple punched butterfly was added instead. The sentiment still works, too. This is one sparkly card, indeed! But I think it still falls into the CAS category because it was quick and easy to put together.

Please join us this week over at the Paper Players! The challenge is open through Friday, June 21st at NOON (PDT). Please check out what the rest of the Design Team have created with this week's clean and simple challenge.
