Glitterly Flower Fun & Stampin' Up! Leadership 2014!!

I'm on my way to Houston this week for this year's Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference.  I'm so excited!  As much as I love Convention, this is my favorite Stampin' Up! Event - I love the business classes and the loads of inspiration that is always around.  Plus, it is so much more intimate than Convention. 

I was lucky enough (and quick enough) to sign up for a high quality swap that I've been wanting to participate in for years.  I combined several things for this card:

• 1st - another Splitcoaststampers Creative Crew Challenge for January (CCREW0114CF):  All the world is glittery! Show me something with glitter, it can be a glitter technique, glitter sheets, anything that glitters!

• 2nd - I've been dying to try this Stained Crystal technique (new to me) ever since I saw this card/video tutorial. 

• 3rd - some fun new DSP from the Occasions Catalog.  This catalog went live on Jan 3.  See it HERE now!   Shop HERE.

I hope this card is good enough for the ladies participating in this swap.  I sure enjoyed making it!  Really, the pictures don't do the glitter justice (it's really hard to photograph all the bling!)

Stay tuned for more Creative Crew Challenge projects!
