Toni has challenged us to use glitter today. No argument here. The hardest part was deciding which glitter to use, so I decided to just use all the glitter. I bought this Glitter Ritz microfine glitter at my local stamp shop when they closed, so today was the perfect opportunity to try it out. And it is amazing! I had to watch some Youtube videos to figure out what to do with it. I applied a small piece of Stick-It to a piece of white cardstock and peeled off the backing. Then I die cut the backing with a Picket Fence Studios die that I won in a PFS Instagram Hop (from Angie - ohmypaper!). I stuck that die cut backing on to the sticky square of paper and sprinkled the glitter. Then, when I peeled off the die cut backing I sprinkled the other glitter color. I did two different ones and then die cut the hearts. This glitter is amazing! I want to glitter everything now! This frog is from another one of the stamp sets that I won from the December Art Impressions challenge. How cute is he? But those glittery hearts are not enough glitter for me. So I stamped a script background inside the frame and embossed with iridescent powder. Then, I die cut a "Hello" from glitter fun foam. Still not enough glitter. I added Stickles to the frog and tulip and then added Wink of Stella to the stem and leaf. Now I think it's sparkly enough. Thanks for a great challenge, Toni!

Ah - that's like the suggestion I made of using lace with glitter for, it was probably my lace WTUI challenge. That super-fine glitter burnishes so beautifully. Your hearts look amazing, and the little frog is just absolutely adorable. I knew this challenge would be right up your street.

Totally adorable (you know I really wanted to write Toad-ally, don't you). Love this layout and all the glitz looks very glitzy. I expected it to be your name to pop up as hostess when I saw the challenge title. But I knew you would have a fabulous card in the Gallery. And, you do.
