The following items can be found at the Loves Rubberstamps online store:


It seems like my motto lately is "life is short, add rhinestones!" I am trying to use up some of the mesh bling I've been hoarding. Not sure why I am hoarding it because when I ordered it a few years ago, the company sent the wrong order to me and I received over 20 yards of various colors of mesh bling. As you can guess, I was giving it out as Christmas presents to some of my crafty friends that year.

I've never said "there's too much glitter" on any project....until now! I had to find a way to remove some of the shiny stuff as this card was a bit too glitzy. A paint brush worked wonders at removing quite a bit of it, but it's still very glitterly!

Lately, as I've been commenting on other crafter's blogs I've noticed that a few stampers have been stamping and embossing their images in white or clear and I was immediately smitten with the look. This card is my attempt at it. After stamping the image with Versamark, a white embossing powder was applied and heat set. The image was colored with Distress Inks. I absolutely love this technique!

The following products used on this card can be found at the Loves Rubberstamps online store: 

Die-Namics Friend Die
Tsukineko Versamark
Tim Holtz Distress Ink:
 Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Pumice Stone, Spun Sugar, Tea Dye, Victorian Velvet
