Celebrate with Sparkle!

How about another day of Sneak Peeks and a new challenge?  Woo Hoo this is fun!  Here's your challenge theme for today:  Bring on the sparkle! We think the new store shines with fun, make a card or creation that shows off the glitz!

Today's sneak peek set is absolutely delighfully, beautifully Easter to me.  I love the sweet parts of Easter, the Easter Bunny and my children hunting for chocolate Easter eggs and all that.  But to us all as a family,   Easter is precious because we celebrate what Jesus did for me, and the hope and power in the Resurrection.  This set illustrated by Marcy captures the beauty and hope of Easter, with some beautiful sentiments as well. 

I was inspired by the Stargazer Lily for this card, and tried to recreate the feel of this picture:

Stunning isn't it?  Sigh.  It's one of my mom's favourite lilies too. 

Here's my sparkly Easter Stargazer Lily.  I know my extra large picture may have cut off a corner of the card in your view, but I wanted you to see the beauty to this flower.

I captured the sense of sparkle in three ways, lines of Sticky Strip covered with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on three horizontal planes, rhinestone accents, and then some additional sparkle in the lily itself with the AMAZING Stardust glitter pen.  Seriously it's the BEST for adding sparkle to your creations. 

I'm really happy with how I was able to re-create the dotted feel to the flower petals I used the Petunia Collection without the RV99  and added RV17 from the Tea Rose Collection and also RV02 from the Hollyhock collection for the lightest base color.  The leaves are done with the Meadow Collection with the addition of YG00 from the Spring Greens Collection for a more yellow base tone.  And with all the white space on the card, and the meaning of Easter, I had to go with white silk ribbon for the richness and beauty too.   

Such a beautiful set!  To join us in the challenge use the keyword FLLCCEL4, and be sure to stop by the Flourishes Blog for more det's on the winnings!
