Monochromatic Blog Hop

 Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog Hop! The theme for this hop is monochrome, so let's get right to it.  You should have arrived from Shona's blog, but if you didn't, please start here so that you can comment on every one's blog, and be in the running for some great prizes!  Woo- Hoo!
 
 
Both of my cards today feature digis from Michelle Perkett.  Sparkle N Sprinkle carries her designs, many of which come in both rubber and digital :)
 
This first card is super simple.  I printed out the Bloom, Grow Live digi and changed the ink color to a pink in Microsoft Word.  I then added glitter and colored only the butterfly and cut the image out with my Nestabilities die.  I made my backing paper using Sticker Paper, Waterscape Glitter and an embossing folder and finished it off with some felt flowers and gems. I love me an easy card sometimes...lol.
 
 
 Next up, Lucky the Leprechaun was colored with my Copics, and since Sparkle N Sprinkle has many different green glitters, I decided to show them off gradient style.  I added strips of 1/2" Tear-iffic Tape and began with the lightest green glitter and ended with the darkest.  I layered him onto a Champagne glitter covered scallop and completed it with a sentiment from the set Just for You.  Would you look at him...He may be the cutest Leprechaun ever. If he's not, he's definitely the
 glittery-est!
 
 
If you need full card details, they can always be found in my gallery here!

 
 Ok, that's it from me, but you have one more stop and that's our fearless DT leader BRENDA! 

Thanks for hopping with us, and the full list is below in case there is a hiccup along the way.

Happy Valentine's Day!

    Your little leprechaun looks cute surrounded by all that glitter, or perhaps he found his pot of gold and it's all gold dust. Great card.

    These are fabulous! I love all the glitter. You have to tell me your secret for working with it. I seem to wear as much as I get on my projects when I use it. I love the pretty flower & bling border on the Bloom, Grow, Live card. And the leprechaun is just adorable. I think he is both the cutest and glitteriest.
