Wonderful challenge, Julia! I need more of these challenges that force me to use some of the DP I hoard. I think the problem w/ my DP is that it's so pretty I have to buy it. Then it's so pretty I don't want to use it and take the chance of running out. If there is ever a paper shortage, I'll be sitting pretty on my mountain of DP.
I tried really hard to get a pic showing the sparkle I added to my dp. I used an embossing pen to trace around the design and then embossed it w/ the Oriental Fire ep, which is a very sparkly gold/red. On the black/white dp, I stamped one of the images w/ gold ink.
The images are black embossed, colored w/ markers, then cut out. They're attached w/ foam tape to a black nestie circle. I used a fortune out of a real cookie, trimmed it and placed it by my stamped cookie.
The sentiment is also black embossed and cut w/ a nestie flower set. I cut a ribbon slide/buckle w/ a nestie set and slid my narrow layered strip thru it.
TFL. My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Your card is AMAZING!!! Just out of this world gorgeous! Love everything about it! Awesome job with the challenges!
I think we all have the same dp problem, we buy them because they are so pretty and then we don't want to use them... because they are so pretty. I know I have a serious problem hoarding mine. LOL! Well it's just so pretty! Anyway TFS!
