Next is my PTI MIM entry. Honestly, I did not see Kim's card until mine was already done--as they say, great minds think alike! This was a really fun technique--check out the video if you haven't.

Birthday & Christmas
I've had the rest of my DI rainbow panel sitting on my table since I made my card for Poppystamps last month. Decided to use about 1/2 of what was left for the new Just Bling It challenge.
My sweet friend, Brenda, sent me lots of Poppystamps Stitched Butterflies die cuts, so I pulled out vellum & cardstock in different sizes to layer. Hopefully my one beautiful bling dot will qualify, as it really seemed like all that was needed. I added some little black splatters & the sentiment from Poppystamps Hope and Thanks. I'm also entering DRU, HLS CAS, Paru's Card Making Challenges, The Playground & SSS Wednesday.
Next is my PTI MIM entry. Honestly, I did not see Kim's card until mine was already done--as they say, great minds think alike! This was a really fun technique--check out the video if you haven't.
I made an acrylic circle stencil using a die & saved packaging. DI pine needles was sponged for an ombre effect going from lower right to upper left. The masks were made with a die cut berry image from PTI Spruce & Sprigs. Then with the masks removed & the stencil left in place, I stamped the berry image in DI festive berries & added Christmas Stickles. The sentiment from PTI Snowflake Flurries was stamped in Brilliance Starlite Black--a bit softer than black. I sponged the edges of the card front to match & attached the panel with foam tape. Couldn't find an embellishment with the right colors in my stash, so decided to just use a bow made with a beautiful textured ribbon.
Thought it still needed something, so covered the bow with painter's tape & sprayed with Perfect Pearls--just love that shimmer! I'm also entering Christmas Card Challenges, Die Cut Divas & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
