Snow One Like You - 2 Sparkly Ways To Win!

Welcome to Sparkle N Sprinkle's October 1 Release,
my dear blogging friends, and my newest followers - Penny and "Fit Kitty",  - and my latest friends from Bloglovin and other Readers!

2 chances to win

the 1st with our "Snow One Like You" Release Contest
 and
the 2nd with the SNS monthly challenge!

As you discovered last month, Sparkle N Sprinkle has changed things up a bit. At the beginning of each month, one or two new affordably-priced sets will be featured on our Facebook Page, Blog, Jazzy Jill's Technique Video for the month, Designers' Blogs, and our Sparkle N Sprinkle Creative Challenges Blog, where the monthly theme is always "Anything Goes with Glitter, Embossing Powder and/or Flocking." (There are three winners each month, badges and awards too!)

But Today...

 Sparkle N Sprinkle is releasing a darling little "Snow One Like You" set created by artist Beccy Muir. Jazzy Jill is also releasing the new Technique Video kit for October which uses this sweet new set. Click here for details about the monthly Technique Video Club.

For a chance to win the Snow One Like You stamp set and an embossing powder and a glitter, we are kicking things off with our 2nd Mystery Designer Party!

At the same time we are releasing a pretty new Flourishes Set #516 by artist Rosiland Solomon, created by popular demand from our designers and customers (thank you for the suggestions).

Did you know Silver is very difficult to photograph? No matter what the light conditions, I could not capture the real colors. The card looks amazing in person!

The entire back panel is made using Pretty Silver Lightning EP which actually contains beautiful glitter. 

It's a detail EP, so you would not think that a single coat would cover white cardstock so completely, but it did.


The sentiment is embossed in the same EP, and is glittery as well, yet the pretty detail of the calligraphy in the letters is still clearly visible.

First I cut the pretty heart border from white cardstock, smooshed on the VersaMark, and dumped on the EP to heat set.

TIP: 
when using EPs that contain other ingredients, shake well before using and "dredge" the area being covered.

The effect really is quite exquisite.

The metallic layer which looks blue is actually a silvery lavender - the same color as the little snowman.

Every layer but the metallic cardstock has lots of glitter.

To achieve these looks, check out my complete directions here.

It was fun making this card!

Even the white background behind the woven ribbon is all glittery!

The Reflection (silver) Velvet Glitter 

and 

the Cloud Nine (white) Velvet Glitter 

are both shaded with

 Pearlescent Lavender Brilliance pad. 

TIP: 

All of the Velvet Glitters can be distressed and altered in color, yet retain their glittery sparkle. 

They also feel very soft, and won't come off the card once adhered. 

Where the silver and white velvet colors meet, is a narrow layer of glue topped with Sparkle N Sprinkle's new Diamond Dust Chunky Glitter.

The texture of the glitter in the Silver Lightning EP shows up best below, but the colors are much darker than the actual card:
