We're using *Jewels* for House-Mouse & Friends Challenge #97

Have you thought about using Jewels/ Jewelry findings on your next House Mouse & Friends card??? That's what I wanted to challenge us to this time. Check out all the details HERE.

I sent the Design Team some findings, {like trinkets, pins, charms, beads, and misc jewels, to help inspire them.Just wait and see the FAB cards they all came up with!!! Bling-flashy, Girlie...

For mine, I started off with a completely different larger stamp called "Looking Good",

but after much deliberations and coloring issues with an attempt at plan A,

I finally had to go to plan B and use my HM&F stamp called: "Fancy Pants" instead.

AND BELOW is my final take (sorry for the bad photo lighting here). It doesn't really show how flashy and sparkly everything is IRL:

CARD RECIPE:

Bling, and more bling, and oh yeah, bling!!! heheheh

STAMPS: Stampabilities, House-Mouse Designs, Fancy Pants, featuring Itty Bit, # HMG1013. Yr 2006.

PAPER: Silver Metallic Textured CS, 110lb White CS, Black CS, Blue Vellum

INK: Memento Black, Copics

ACCESSORIES: Spellbinders, MS Corner & Edge Punches, Silver Diamond Bead, Blue & Cream Pearls Beads, Silver adhesive Pearls, Silver & Blue Micro Beads (around main panel), Glittered Ribbon, Ranger Diamond Stickles

She is the perfect bunny for this challenge with her sassy attitude. Love how you blinged her up and that matching sparkly bow is to die for! The stick pin is so pretty. Loved this challenge!
