***this is my 2nd post of the day. Scroll down to see my Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge card but don't forget to vote for me too!***
Oh my gosh! ROUND 4!
The top 10.
I'm dreaming, right?
I still can't believe it!
The theme for Round 4 is to make a card something from around the house.
I raided my cabinets and drawers, even went digging in the garage for stuff I might have forgotten... Then, I came back to my craft room and just tried everything.
My loot included cotton balls, parchment paper, chicken wire, bamboo forks... and then I tried...
NAIL POLISH.
Yep. Nail polish.
It took about 8 tries to get the right splatter effect but boy was it fun and gosh do I like it.
I think what makes me the happiest about this card is that while I fully abided by the challenge rules, I also managed to create a card good enough to give. Sometimes when I make a card for a challenge, I can lose myself in creating the card and I am never happy with the end result.
I love how the nail polish also has a subtle sparkle to it too. Super cool.
I cut the paper doll people and the sentiment on my Silhouette Cameo.
Talk about a tool that does it all.
I hope you enjoy my card and perhaps I've inspired you to try out some nail polish crafting! It is really fun!
Now, I ask you to GO VOTE FOR ME!
Thanks and have a great day!
