I really enjoyed looking at Betty's gallery today; this is what I chose: Rhino Ready by Sweet Irene at Splitcoaststampers
No stamps were used, dies that I have neglected were used, basic layout pretty much the same except no cute critter.
I didn't have a chance to do Sabrina's last TLC, fossil background, so that is what is under the center diecut. I had the best luck with the technique using Distress inks and photo paper, shiny side. I tried a glossy paper and DOx, didn't dry. The glossy paper wasn't the usual glossy that one can buy at craft stores but it was glossy so I thought it was worth a try. For this past Friday's F4A, to sprinkle something, I sprinkled some glitter on top of silver LP. Finally this is for the September Christmas Fan Club challenge. Thanks for the challenges!

Neat card and I love how your lights "light up" on this from the holographic paper. The die cut aperture in the bg works beautifully with your layout. Love the sprinkles of glitter too. Great card. Congrats on covering so many challenges with this gem.

That is a splendid die cut string of lights. I love the sparkle! What a great take on the FS's card. Your aperture and sentiment circle really work well together.

You really lit up the night with these awesome lights . You created a fabulous card. Some of the lights looked like shakers.

So funny that we've chosen the same card to case using the same die cut aperture and 2 cards so totally different, I love your Christmas lights and the pretty bg!!

Jean, this is such a great case of Betty's inspiration card. Your shiny Christmas lights are placed so creatively and I love the background decorative die cut.
What a cool looking card and you used so many challenges as well! Love the design, the Christmas lights and that beautiful fossil bg which at first I thought was a globe!
