Sparkle N Sprinkle's January 2012 Blog Hop

to the first Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog Hop of 2012! We're combining two themes this month -

Deco Divas - Love Is In The Air (aka Valentines)

If you hopped here by way of Lana Clarke, then you're right where you should be.

If not, and you'd like to become eligible for one of four great prizes, please start

on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog Home page.

This card was made with artist Gail Burton's stamp Trois Visages 3353-419M or on Burton-Heure De Party Stamp Set 419

For instructions to the above card, click here.

The 'Divas', below, was a lot of fun to make. After doing some research on-line about the very clean lines in designs and architecture of the Deco-era, I made my own templates to create the layered 3-D black background. From Heure De Party Stamp 3351-419P, Stamp Set 419.

These are thread spinner cards made with stamp Crossed Hearts 1446-306C from artist Lisa Jane's Hearts & Flowers Stamp Set 306. Here, the pictures are showing both sides of the spinner. No one can resist a card that moves, shakes or spins. When this card is set open, the slightest air movement starts the spinner going 'round.

Stamped image twice to give an almost mirror image,
and accented with a lot of glitter to make it sparkle.

The turquoise background is highlighted with Paisley Florals 1445-306G,
The vases were stamped on white cs and fussy cut only around
the bottom part of the vases. This allows the vases to appear to 'sit'
on the tablecloth. Click here, for instructions.

 

Although the Petal Bride and Groom have been retired, I couldn't
resist using them for this blog hop. They remind me of my
Brother and Sister-In-Law when they were married in 1980.
Big hair, big fluff, big shoulder pads, big everything!

Please be sure to leave a comment on every one's blog, then at the end of the hop, answer the question on the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog to be eligible for a prize. Winners will be announced on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog, Saturday, January 21st. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you are gathering lots of ideas to make your own cards for your special someone.
