All that glitters...

I do hope the glitter shows up on this card as it has been made for the challenge at ABC where we have reached the letter G in the alphabet and the design team have decided to go for 'glitter'. I have used glitter card embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder to create my background.

The main silhouette image was printed on to acetate and then attached to the glitter card using brads.

I love the effect of glitter card layed under acetate - it's magical which is ideal for this particular image. My card is also for the 'my favourite things' challenge at Charisma Cards . Silhouettes either in rubber stamp form or images to print out are definitely one of my favourite things and I love glitter card too!!

I've added black corner peel offs to draw the eyes in to the central image and ribbon embellishment just because...

Hope you like my card.
