It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Bling

Do you LOVE bling? So do we! This month the i {heart} papers design team and the team from Zva Creative are celebrating the love of beautiful bling! Since each of our teams have designers that are also Paper Craft Planet Super Novas, we asked the PCP team to host some special challenges throughout the week. There will be lots of beautiful, blingy inspiration!

My card today is made using my favorite Flourishes set that i {heart} papers carries: Poppy Patch. I stamped my images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then used a brush and reinkers to watercolor the flowers. My designer paper is from the Nightfall Collection by Memory Box. There are so many gorgeous, rich autumn papers in this 6x6 pad. The finishing touch is the beautiful flourish (CRW-05CB-153) by Zva Creative. My layers are popped up using the Zva Adhesive Dimensional Squares. I love the different sizes in the dimensionals package! The rest of the layers are held together using  i {stick} papers redline tape. All of those supplies are available at i {heart} papers.

From here, you're visiting Nicole Martel. Thanks for stopping, and enjoy the hop! We hope to see you and your creations this week on Paper Craft Planet!
