S&D11 Sparkle & Shine!

Do you like projects that Sparkle & Shine? That's the theme behind this week's Sunflowers and Dragonflies 11th Blog Challenge! For this challenge we want you to use items that will make your projects glisten--think Bazzill Bling cardstock, rhinestones, Stickles and Shimmerz galore!

Anyone can play along in the challenge. There are no limits on time or supplies. Of course we’d prefer that you use images by Sunflowers and Dragonflies, but feel free to use other images. However, there is a bonus if you do use a Sunflowers and Dragonflies Image, you'll receive an extra entry in the drawing for the weekly challenge prize!! So, if you have any S&D stamps it would be worth it to use them! Please post a direct link to your challenge project from either your blog or an online gallery to the Sunflowers and Dragonflies Blog, specifically on the Challenge #11 Blog Post, so we can view it. If you upload to an online gallery, please use the keyword S&D11.


This week's prize is a Set of Cupcake Stamps, Deadline is next Friday October 9th.

Here's my "Delicious" Sparkle & Shine Cupcake Card!

I used one of Sunflowers and Dragonflies new Cupcake images for this challenge. The layout I used follows this weeks Splitcoast Sketch challenge. The cupcake image was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and the colors were blended with Gamsol. I pop dotted a lemon slice on top of the cupcake and added yellow Stickles to it. The frosting, flowers and wrapper were painted with Shimmerz.

In this close up photo, you can see the detail & true colors on the cupcake.


This angle shows you just how much this card really sparkles & shines!
