FS103: Vicky Gould and Tiny Twinkles…

Posted by Jen | Taylored Expressions/Stamp A Sweet Impression, challenges | Monday, January 26, 2009

It’s been a busy weekend and I am ready to get into the groove with a new week. I need to get back on my diet and hit the gym, that’s for sure. Last night we went to get frozen custard and they had one that they should have just named “The Jen.” It was vanilla custard {the kind I always get}, raspberries {if these were the last food on earth, I could live 100 years…happily!}, Oreos {I’m surprised Ellie didn’t come out of me saying O-R-E-O with as many as I ate during my pregnancy} and then to top it all off there was hot fudge down the entire center. It was called a Raspberry Fudge Pothole…YUM-O!! Let’s just say that the elliptical machine will be getting some serious time in from me this morning!

Now onto the stamping business at hand! Yesterday was the Featured Stamper challenge over on SCS and I just love who was chosen: Vicky Gould! She is quite possibly one of the nicest stamper’s on SCS and I am so glad that she got her moment in the spotlight! Congrats Vicky! Click HERE to see that card that I used from her gallery. Here is my creation based on her card…

What I changed:
1. Used an embossing folder for my dots instead of glitter
2. Used a different color for the matting of my main image
3. Used a different cupcake image/sentiment {Love is Sweet set from Stamp a Sweet Impression}
4. Used Taylor’s Tiny Twinkles around the edges of the matting instead of hand drawn embellishments

Here is an image of Taylor’s Tiny Twinkles, which are currently on special for just $3.99. You get a TON {over 400} of these SUP-AH Spar-ka-lay rhinestones {I’m picky about that!} in this itty bitty package…

    Such a cute card, love the little bling! My hubby and I went for frozen custard last night too. I got the new Red Velvet cake one (vanilla custard, red velvet cake, cream cheese frosting and raspberries all blended together) I decided to forgo the raspberries though. I am preggo so I will worry about the exercise I need to do for that later lol.

    Love the card, but how the heck do you get those itty bitty twinkles in place??????? You must have very tiny fingers and a very steady hand. Thanks for the Blinky…..it’s in place!

    Cute card!!!! I’ve been contemplating getting some of these rhinestones since it’s such a great deal. What do you use to adhere them? I have a hard time with the little rhinestones.

    The card is super cute but the little package of twinkles is the one that really got me…
