My card today is a feat!
The card "jacket" is white and covered completely with Sparkle N Sprinkle Teal Velveteen Microfine Glitter. Painted with Sparkle N Sprinkle Brushable Glue and immediately dredged with glitter, it only took about 30 minutes to dry completely, even in Florida's humid weather. The excess was brushed off, and the jacket was glued to the pink card base. AND the glitter stays in place.
The sweet little image was heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle White Detail embossing powder, then colored with Prismacolor pencils.
The darling sentiments are heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle Mediterranean embossing powder, tied with sparkly fibers, and adhered onto the umbrella handle. The umbrella was first heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle By The Lake embossing powder, then coated with Sparkle N Sprinkle Pink Lady Cosmic embossing powder to create texture and a unique marbled look, similar to rain.
The raindrops are first embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle White Detail embossing powder and then lines were drawn with a VersaMarker next to each white line, and heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle By The Lake embossing powder.
Spellbinder's Classic Square dies were used to create the window card and jacket.
directions to re-create this card are here.
Remember that the new stamp sets are 20% off through April 3, and three of them are available in our digital store as well (see above for the links).
Thanks for stopping by today! I always appreciate your visits!

My card today is a feat!
It is flat! (for mailing)
It is small! A2 size.
Normally I make size A7 (5" x 7"), so this truly was a difficult card to make in my book.
Still, there is plenty of sparkle. (giggle)

Wow, that is one sparkly card! I love the window idea and the white embossed scene. The wet umbrella is stunning and what a great idea to have the sentiments hanging from it.
Your card is gorgeous! I love the colors that you used and the generous amount of glitter! Cute stamp set, too!
Love this, Donna. Not only that gorgeous teal glitter but the window card idea. The inner scene is embossed so well. It's gorgeous. But I am not surprised. Your work is always fab!

There is lots of sparkle but it really looks nice. Love the inner design that shows through the window. Great job.
Can always count on your card to sparkle and shine, love it. Donna, this image is adorable and love how you did the rain. Pretty color combo too. Just gorgeous.

Love your card for so many reasons - the colours and textures and that it is flat. This is also a difficult size for me to create - you did a marvellous job.
Barb P.
Love how you used the microfine glitter, which is my new favorite embellishment. And the raindrop detail is genius. Thanks!
Love the sentiments with this set. Great card, especially the glitter.
Beautiful!
A feat indeed! More of a fait accompli! I love absolutely everything about your card, but gotta admit the glitter capped it off. Great job, Donna. I fully intend to use it as inspiration!!! ;D
Love the glitter-it makes the card pop.
I LOVE THIS CARD, Donna! So sparkly, so shimmery, so shiny, and such a gorgeous color combo. Wonderful idea to do the double sentiment and to make this a window card. Magnificent all the way around, my friend. :-D
Wow Donna, now that's what you call sparkle!!
I love that teal, and the fabulous image looks amazing in the aperture.
Thank you for sharing with us

Wow Donna, what a stunning sparkler! Fantastic design with the image on the inside & awesome colours. Beautiful work talented lady! Hugs, Shirleyx
Just gorgeous Donna! Actually, breathtaking! Hope you are doing great, lots of hugs!
Since I first discovered glitter in first grade (or maybe even kindergarten), I have always known that you just can't have too much of it. EVER. And this card proves it - this is the kind of card that makes me want to hold it and hug it and kiss it and touch it...it's darling and playful and fun and full of PIZZAZZ all at once! What a treasure! And sure enough, I learned a new trick, that of making the cutest sparkly raindrops ever!! You're a genius, sweetie pie, and I always enjoy your creative genius! (You even have sparkly fibers - wheee!)
love the window card and all the glitter

Love your card with all the vivid colors and sparkle! Really like the window approach that you used with this card.
What a glittery Spring delight! Such a pretty image of friends walking in the rain!
I love all the sparkle of this card. It's pouring in California right now and this card is perfect for today! It makes me smile.
SnS has some gorgeous offerings for April. Love what you did with this pretty raindrop scene. So enjoyed reading all the how-to's. Never think to color over embossing but this is so pretty the way you've done it. A lovely sparkling front with the window to the interior. Your umbrella did look shiny-wet with the techniques you did to add texture and I'd say "Homerun" on achieving such a beautiful card that can be mailed easily too! At regular postage rate! It's just beautiful Donna. Can't wait to see what the other DT have done. Just saw Shona's beautiful card a few moments ago. TFS & Hugs
Hi De. I just love your beautiful card! Now that is something I probably could not do! ❤️
Cute cards using the umbrella kids - with our weather forecast for the next few days - this stamp would be very fitting. LOL
Awesome card. I particularly like the umbrellas. The sheen that they have is amazing.
Love the "shower" stamp, which I will scraplift for an upcoming baby shower for a friend. I've never tried all the embossing powders on one card and will give it a shot. Thanks!
What a sweet and beautiful card, Donna. It's so filled with clever techniques and awesome sparkle. I love it!
Fabulous card Donna, great details.
Thank you for sharing at Allsorts, good luck;-))m
You chose the perfect paper for your image! Lots of sparkle!
Thanks for joining our Anything Goes challenge at Cut it Up!

So I love the entire card inside and out! The umbrella with your wonderful sentiments too! I have a question about the embossed umbrellas. I know you embossed with White Detail embossing powder and colored the pink part with Prismacolor pencils. But when I look up close it looks like they have a metallic sheen. Is it just me? LOL Your embossing and choice of colors, embossing powders, and glitter are fantastic....as always!!
Superb card! Love all the sparkles and the colors are very attractive.
Oh my.....your card is absolutely amazing! I would love to receive this card!! TFS!

WOWIE now that's a lot of sparkling goodness. I had to put my sunglasses on for that...lol A girl can never have to much sparkle. I love it.
Bear Hugs,
Carol
Oh my goodness! Now that is a lot of glitter! Love the teal with the pink. I also really like the way you did up the image with heat embossing. While I'd love to explore that side of embossing, I just can't sink any more money into getting a whole new bunch of supplies! Never mind that I have no more room. I'll just live vicariously through all your sparkle!
Hugs,
Lisa
