Beauty is a nectar which intoxicates the soul


Sharing a CAS card featuring a beautiful stencil from Funky Fossil Designs called Elegant Lady and a sentiment from the Sprinkles and Smiles set by Penny Black.


I loved this stencil the first time I saw it on an entry to a challenge.  And that’s another reason I love challenges, they enable you with new crafty prettiness.  So not only do you get so much inspiration from the theme, from the DT and also from other crafters who enter you get to add to your stash!

My card follows the layout of the current sketch at Sketch Saturday.  I’ve used the stencilled face as the main circle element and added in the rectangle element with a swish of ink.  I embossed the sentiment before adding in my ink stripe and finished off with Kaisercraft Sparklets for the five smaller circles in the sketch.

I wanted to play along at The Paper Girls with their sparkle and shine theme so I went over the stencilled image with Wink of Stella.  I also added some mica to the ink for the pink stripe and the embossing powder I used has a lovely shine to it.  It’s also the reason I went with Sparklets rather than pearls for the smaller circles.

Over at Crazy4Challenges they are celebrating and my card is celebrating a friends birthday.  And the sparkle and shine are just perfect for a celebration for what’s a party without a bit of glitter?!
