2009 Spellbinders Paper Arts Design Team Contest!!!

So did the title grab your attention!?? LOL!! It's that time of the year again, Spellbinders Paper Arts is doing a nation-wide search for talented scrapbookers, rubber stampers, card makers and papercrafters. If you would like to find out all of the details (and see a really great picture from the retreat last year!!) about the contest click HERE!! Maybe YOU will be one of the next Spellbinders Designers!! Have fun & Good Luck to all who enter!!

I absolutely love how this card turned out! It makes me smile. I love the softness of the white and ivory together with a little lace and the sparkle of the glitter, rhinestones and some gold embossing powder. The stamped images are from the Inkadinkado, Winter Birds stamp set and both the bird and snowflake punch are from Martha Stewart. The winter holly flourish was stamped and embossed with gold EP onto the ivory mat with a piece of lace added to the bottom. I used the Wizard and the Labels Large dies (S4-168) from Spellbinders to cut and emboss the label shape from Poison Ivory CS. The bird image was stamped and then embossed with gold EP. I also added a white label to the back for a mat. Then I added the birds, with a little foam tape on the backside to give them some dimension and then the snowflakes were added. For a sparkling final touch I added some glitter and rhinestones.
