Diamonds

... are a girl's best friend... you know what I'm talking about? ;) I've not ever seen the movie. I'm thinking it's a movie. Right? With Marilyn Monroe and whoever else is in it. Or is it just another music video like Madonna redid? I really don't know! lol *blush* But I saw Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend image at Sassy Studios Design and I had to have it!

I have to tell you... I like how the card came out! I do! I do! lol 

I made the card to participate in two challenges.

First one is at Artistic Inspirations. It's a Lots of Layers challenge! I like those! Doesn't everyone? I cannot figure out how to link the challenge! I cannot find a direct link to the challenge, only to the blog. I hope this won't disqualify my entry! :-\

The second challenge is an Anything Goes challenge! I love these too! Who doesn't right? It's Challenge #19 over at Challenges 4 Everybody.

I needed a card sketch and I went with Christmas Challenges' Challenge #71. I didn't participate in the challenge... it's a Christmas blog. I only used the card sketch. I like it! :) 

So here's the card:

All plain and embossed card stock, vellum, shimmer and printed paper, ribbon and rhinestones are from my stash. The embossed scalloped hearts are from Spellbinders' Classic Scalloped Hearts die. The "Sparkle" sentiment is from a Raisin Boat clear stamp set called Wonderland Wishes. I stamped the sentiment with The Essential Glue Pad, sprinkled it with Cat's Stick 'Um Potion (I couldn't find a link for you!), heated it per the instructions and added Stampendous Crystal Snow glitter for the "sparkle". :) Of course, I colored the image with Copic markers. :) I dabbed Stickles in Diamonds on all her jewelry. The belt buckle was colored in with a silver gel pen.

I just love the "bling" of it all! :)

Thanks for stopping by. If you want to be included in my EMA-gination Celebration, be sure to leave a comment! :)
