First dare for 2007, Yay...and a great one to start the year off with.. this week we had to use Beads or Bling... I love using both, but this card only called for Bling... so that's what I used.Thanks girls for a lovely dare, pop on over to Daring Card Makers and check out what all of the girls have created, But wear you sunnies, cause it's sparklin' over there....
Stash bits that Bling on this card are - Bazzill Cardstock, Cosmo Cricket PP, Image from old childrens book, 7 Gypsies paper tab & PP (girls crown), Tombow Brush Pens, Autum Leaves Acrylic Stamp, Versa mark Ink Pad, Ribbon, blossoms, old buckle from Nanna's Button Jar, Making Memories Crystal Brad, Sticko gem stickers, brad & my sewing machine... TTFN Gillian :o)
