Glitter Explosion!!!!

My very First Blog Hop!!!!!!  Thanks Yolie for letting me be part of it. :)
I have to say after this one I'm all shiny and sparkly!!!  Glitter and more glitter everywhere.   
I worked on two projects: a center piece and a card. 

For my center piece, I added glitter every place and every way that you can imagine.  I used a galvanized vase from Michaels and covered it with floral paper.  I used my thin glue pen to highlight some parts of the flowers on the paper with glue and added Martha Stewart glitter.  I also added glitter to the three flowers in the arrangement. 


The pinwheels were cut with my Cricut using a svgcuts.com freebie and I followed the awesome tutorial video that they have on their site.  

 Because I did not have enough glitter, (Can you ever have enough glitter???). I added some to the floral picks.





Here are some pictures showing various details and my finished product. 






For my second project I created a card using this cute Spanish Tilda from Magnolia Stamps.  I absolutely love this stamp because as many of you know I'm a proud Spaniard :)

I colored her with copics and of course, I added some MS glitter to her dress, flower and fan. I used papers from my stash.  Cut the window frame and the tilda frame with my Cricut.  I used Stickles around the square windows and I glimmer misted the flower. (flower is from Michaels)


I do have some candy up for grabs, three packs of GLITTER stickers from Recollections, one alphabet sticker set (also shiny) and a "Crafted by me" stamp.  In order to win you have to follow my blog and leave a comment on this post.

    Wow Maria, I'm impressed!! I love paper crafts too but can't ever seem to find the time. I need to find time, plus my kids want to make their own and then by the time I help them I'm out of free time. ;-)

    I tried to become a follower of your blog but there is no where to become a follower. I really love your card and centerpiece. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I don't know about you but when I use glitter not only my projects have glitter but for some reason it seems to float throughout the house and other things become glittered including my face.

    WOW...what terrific projects! I especially love your Spanish Tilda! Very pretty! I also love how you "dipped" your floral picks into the glitter...I wouldn't have had enough sense to do that...lol! I would have made a giant glitter mess! I am your newest follower and looking forward to more of your creativity :-)
