weekly challenge | joy taylor and gillian nelson

From Gillian : I don't frequently put a lot of shiny or blingy things on my pages.  It's not that I'm not a fan of shiny and blingy things...I just don't often think to do it.  So when I saw that the Studio Calico shop had started carrying the Silhouette Double-Sided Adhesive paper and the WOW! Super Fine Glitter, I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to play a little.  And can I just say?  I'm such a fan.  For this page, I wanted to use the glitter to add some sparkle to my "sun rays" that are warming my critters so nicely.

I traced the ray designs from the Spencer's Card Kit Digital Stamps using my Silhouette program, enlarged them, and then cut the ray design out of the special adhesive paper.  I adhered the paper to my page by removing one side of the protective layer.  Then once it was stuck down, I removed the other side of protective layer, exposing the adhesive.  Then I just went to town, dumping the WOW! glitter over the exposed areas of adhesive and shaking off the excess.  It worked like a charm and was so easy.  I love how the super-fine glitter adds sparkle without the chunky texture of standard glitter.  And the white glitter was still translucent, so the pretty honeycomb pattern of the background vellum could still show through.  The whole glitter effect may be subtle to see in the main image, but it's more apparent in the detail shot.  And certainly in person, it's crazy sparkly.  I dig it.

From Joy : If you are like me, I love to make most of my projects shine, I have a healthy yet obessive addiction to bling and like to add it to almost anything I create.  I find that sometimes you have space on your creation that is a space that needs a little something and sometimes the products that you are creating with are just a little big for that area..so that is why reaching for something smaller like sequins as you see on my project helps fill the void and well makes it shine.  Having a little shiny aspect to a project always makes me smile.
