SDC 199:Shimmer and Shine

This week our hostess is Kathi Rerek and she is shimmering and shinning!

Kathi says " My spirit animal must be a magpie as I'm attracted to all things that shine, or shimmer or glitter. My challenge for you is to create a project that literally shines!

So with this in mind, I got out my pad of glitter paper, choose the sheet of white and set about making a set of Project Life cards. 

Sadly in the photo above you can't see just how much this glitter paper shimmers and shines! 

I also used glossy accents on the head band of the hat and on the scarf for more shine! 

The main 4x6 card I used this Stampotique rubber stamp

And for the 2 smaller 3x4 cards 

I used this set of Stampotique rubber stamps

Now it's over to you to shimmer and shine and join in the fun! There is a link to the SDC blog in the right of this post
