TLC202 ~ Wishing You Love ~
January 5th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good morning, girls! (and guys… in case my brothers are reading
)
Today’s TLC (Tacky Glitter) has left me sparkling. I wish I had the guts to take a picture of myself right now. I am covered, head to toe, in red glitter. My DH kissed me goodbye a few minutes ago and now HE has red glitter on him, too! My 14 yr old was going to give me a kiss, but when he saw what I had done to his dad, he said ‘pass’. LOL
Now, this was really fun, honestly! All I did was line my paper with red sticky tape (1/4″ wide) and peeled back the area I wanted to cover with glitter… wipe clean and move to the next area. I did the red areas first, then the white. I opted to use a shade of purple on my card as I do not have any other colors of glitter and I needed the white to show. I think it came out pretty cute!
Here are the deets on my card:
Stamps: For a Friend by Stampin’ Up!
Colors: Lovely Lilac, Real Red, GP White
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics
Accessories: redline tape, red and white glitter, ruler, MS embossing border punch, MS embossing heart punch, primas, heart brads, ribbon, dimensionals, distressed stickles (warm lipstick), scissors.

Update on Marci…….
We have had some really bad days here with Marci. She is losing weight at an alarming rate and cannot keep food down. She goes for her chemo treatment tomorrow, and a doctor’s appointment as well. She is frustrated and really ready to give in, but we are not letting her. More prayers her way would be great!!
TFL and have a blessed day!
Thanks for the giggle this morning. Have a wonderful mental picture of you covered in sparkles as well as the sparkle dust on your DH. Smart son, sure he didn’t want to get teased at school LOL
Fun card. Love all the glitter on it - was worth the work
