simon says stamp monday challenge: glimmer and sparkle

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for all who played along with our challenge last week and we hope you will join us again this week! This week our challenge is Gimmer and Sparkle and I have a created a fun and creepy Halloween Card for my niece using the TIm Holtz Seasonal Distress Mica Stains for extra glimmer and sparkle! These are so concentrated and colorful, and a little really goes a long way.

To create this card, I took a panel of Distress White Heavystock and created a background using the Hocus Pocus Distress Mica Stain along with Distress Spray Stains in Kitsch Flamingo and Shaded Lilac. I added a few layers, drying between each one with my Ranger Heat Tool. Once the panel was dry, I added background stamping using DIstress Archival Inks in Picked Raspberry and Dusty Concord and the Rest in Peace stamp set. I stamped the focal image from the Wicked Hipster set onto the panel and also stamped and cut it on a separate piece of Heavystock and layered onto the panel. To finish the card, I added two Idea-ology Creepy Eyes and a Reverse Halloween Sentiment Strip from CZ Design. I matted the panel onto a piece of Metallic Kraft Stock and then matted that onto a black card for some glimmery, creepy fun!
