Platypus Creek Digitals Challenge 5 - Bling It Up!

I missed joining in the fun of the Platypus Creek Digitals Mothers Day Image Release last week, so thought I would use one of these wonderful images for their Fortnightly Challenge today.  Challenge 5 is simply called Bling It Up!  Yep that's right we want to see you, break out your glitter, pearls, gems etc and and jazz up your projects so they shine and sparkle.

Digi:  Flowers for Mum by Platypus Creek Digitals, Sentiment Stamp:  Verve Stamps,

Paper:  Echo Park, Colour:  Tria Markers and Melon Mambo Ink from Stampin' Up!

Other:  Stampin' Up! XL 2 Step Bird Punch (Leaves), Eyelet Border Punch, Green Rhinestones, 

Viva Decor Gold Glitter Liner, Spellbinders Rectangle Dies, Paper Roses.

For my card I used some Viva Decor Gold Glitter Liner Pen on the paper wrapping the flowers, and my Ice White Pearl Pen also by Viva Decor for the flower centres.  I then placed some green gems on the leaves, including a strip of gems underneath the sentiment.

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, so Bling must be a paper crafters bestie don't you think!  For some fabulous inspiration on how to use your bling, be sure to check out all the wonderful creations by my fellow DT Members over on the Platypus Creek Digitals Blog.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
