Sparkle, Shimmer and Bling for Merry Monday

It's Merry Monday time.


This week, Kathy is asking us to
Add Sparkle, Shimmer and/or Bling
on our Christmas cards.


Do you ever think a card looks great until you see the photo of it?

That's what happened here.

I put a Glimmer Paper snowflake over a Whisper White snowflake
and thought they were all lined up.

It seems that they're not.

But it has sparkle, shimmer and bling.

ANYTHING GOES


Now, I hope you'll pull your Sparkle out and join us at

Thanks so much for the visit and your lovely comments.
I know I'm behind on visiting and hope to catch up this week.

Enjoy!

    I wouldn't have noticed the snowflakes weren't lined up if you hadn't mentioned it! Love all the shimmer and sparkle! I must get a card done for Merry Monday this week as that is a great challenge!

    Your card is beautiful, Bonnie! Love the colors, sentiment and that sparkly snowflake! I too would not have noticed the snowflakes being lined had you not mentioned it. I think it looks fabulous though! Full of sparkle! What's not to love! Have a great week! :)

    I think it is great idea to make Christmases cards in summer!
    I agree with you the cards on the photo look different: sometimes better, sometimes worse)

    Very sprakly, gorgeous and elegant Bonnie - glad to see you used some artistic licence in the placement of the layers of your star. :-)

    Yes, this exact thing happens to me all the time...I always see a boo-boo I missed. However, Don't think that is the case with this pretty one. It looks perfect to me.The shadowing on your snowflake looks like a design detail to me, and gives a lot of dimension. Against the deep turquoise background, with that sparkling silver circle, it's just grand. Of course that's my favorite snowflake embossing. You do the white & turquoise - just the bestest! Bee-U-tiful card. TFS & Hugs

    Sparkle and shimmer it does, Bonnie. I always think things looks different on the screen, and sometimes the angle of the card when you place things on it can distort them.

    This is a stunning card Bonnie! I am loving that snowflake and I love the color combo with some glitter paper-just gorgeous! If you wouldn't have told us that the snowflakes were off, I would have thought you off set them on purpose. I think they look great off set! Hugs, Brenda

    What you're meant to say, Bonnie, is that you intentionally offset the snowflakes very slightly to provide added interest :) This card is fabulous, regardless. Love the sparkle and love the snowflake.
