Sparkle and Shine

Good morning to you and I hope you all survived Halloween.  We stayed in for the early trick or treaters then went out for tea and so see the film Captain Phillips which was excellent a real nail biter and had you sat on the edge of your seats, Tom Hanks was his usual excellent self.  I am writing this at 0700 as when it publishes I will be running around getting ready to leave.  I am off to Spain until Tuesday with my friend who has a villa over there and looking forward to seeing some sun and warm weather if only for a few days!

Today sees the start of the new challenge for November at A Little Bit Crafty where the theme this month is Sparkle and Shine.  Pretty obvious what it means I guess, here is my card:

The image was very kindly given to me by one of this month's sponsors Pink Gem Designs and is called Snowdrops.  I lightly coloured Snowdrops with my Copics and added Stardust Stickles to make it sparkle.  I cut the image out with Spellbinders Nesties and made a frame using mirri card and Spellbinders Exquisite Circles.  The background is Centura Pearl which has been run through a Couture Creations Tied Together Embossing folder and lots of sparkly gems added.  Sentiment stamped and cut out with a Marianne die and stamp using silver embossing powder.  Here is another view:

We have some fabulous sponsors this month:

That's it from me I will have another scheduled post tomorrow.  I apologise for not coming around to see you all whilst I am away as there is no internet connection at the villa.  Thank you so much for coming to see me and any comments you leave, take care xx
