Penny Black Snowy Park

Hi! An easy, sparkly card to share today. The most difficult part was photographing it because of the glitter and embossing powder.


Using Staz-on ink, this Penny Black image was stamped on white cardstock covered with Sparkle n Sprinkle Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter. Stampin' Sistah Shona Erlenborn documented a fantastic tutorial using Velvet Glitter and Staz-on Ink here.

The mirror cardstock was dry embossed with Craft Concepts Tuscan Tiles embossing folder (looks a little like snowflakes after sanding).

The following Sparkle n Sprinkle products were used on this card and can be found in their on-line store:

SNS mirror cardstock
SNS Americana embossing powder
SNS Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter GM2000
SNS Super Adhesive Sheets SAS02
SNS Brushable Glue #540
SNS Double Sided Tear-ific Tape SAT01

One last try for glitter:


I give up! 
It looks pretty in person!

    This is so pretty, Donna. The colour, the sparkle, the winter scene...I love it all. The embossing really does look like snowflakes and the shaped edges are gorgeous too.

    Snowy Park looks really great done in the shade of blue Donna, don't think mine got an airing this Christmas, but it's an image I really like.

    It's lovely to see you at Penny Black and More challenge this month, thanks so much joining in.

    Gorgeous Donna ! I love your card ! I can see the glitter in the 2nd photograph, (it's difficult to capture on camera, I know). The blue & white look so elegant together, love the frame and white die cuts, and the beautiful touch with the sheer fabric. Have a wonderful day, Shirleyx
