Welcome back for day 3 of Shady Tree Studio fabulousness! I also snuck a Moxie Fab challenge in here. This close to Christmas I have to multi task! ( I also promised some blog candy... which I will put up in a new post after the sets are officially released. (I don't want to steal Nancy's thunder and show a full set to soon)). So onto today's goods. My first card uses the set Power of Love. I wanted to stay simple and clean (probably my favorite style). I used a white base and embossed it with my spellbinders die. I think its labels 5 but I could be wrong. After embossing I stamped it with this triple heart image. I inked up the stamp in two colors. Next I stamped the sentiment in gray and then added some stickles to the hearts.
A close up of the image and all their stickle goodness.For my next card I was inspired by a couple of things. First off I had been reading facebook and saw this Moxie Fab challenge for glitter. You need to check out this challenge and play along! Second, when I look at this image I am taken back to my late 70's, early 80's childhood. All those puffy letters and rainbows made me think of these glittery shirts I used to have and the fun glittery flocked stickers.
I started by stamping my image on white card. I colored it in with my copics, no shading - just flat coloring. Next I pulled out all my stickles (and I own quite a few!) and glitter painted my image. Then I had to wait for it to dry. After it was dry I mounted it on blue cardstock with pop dots. I wish you could see this in person, the photos (which are not my best- I am working late here) do not do it justice.
One last close up for you. I hope you like sparkle! Come back later and I will have some yummy Shady Tree Studios blog candy for you! You're going to like it!

Michele!!! These are GLORIOUS!!! I LOVEEEEEEEEE the first one as it's so elegant and simple. The second one also is a massive throwback to my childhood as well!! I'm thinking Tretorn sneakers with shoelaces that have hearts, frogs and crayons on them!!!

You'll want to add a facebook button to your blog. I just bookmarked this article, although I had to complete it manually. Simply my $.02 :)

I like the sparkle on that last card in your last post. I had a look see at the new release. I do like Elegant Valentine but I like how the release caters for many styles, like with Groovy Love (I hope that's the correct name). Thanks!
Hey Michele! Thanks for entering the Glitter is Glam challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you played along! :)
