CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #14–Glitzy Glue Dots!

Hola Peeps!

 

First, thank you all for your very kind words and comments on my last post.  I am over the moon thrilled to pieces, but am also so very thankful that you all have shared that experience with me.  Your words meant the world to me – thank you ever so much!

I’m here today to share this week’s CAS-ual Fridays challenge with you all!!  And boy, are you gonna love it!!  The challenge this week is to create a clean and simple project and use glue dots and glitter as your focus of the design.  So fun, right?!

Naturally, this week’s sponsor is Glue Dots, and they not only shared some of their amazing products with the Girl Fridays to use, but they’re also providing an incredibly generous prize to the T.G.I.F. winner of this challenge.  Check out the prize, as well as some additional inspiration from the other Girl Fridays by hopping over to the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog.  Thank you, Glue Dots!

 

Here is what I came up with for the challenge.  I stamped the Too Many Martini’s background using VersaMark onto some aqua cardstock, tilting the background at an angle so as to give the look of driving rain (something I see a lot of here in Seattle ).  I adhered some Mini Glue Dots to each of the “raindrops” and then sprinkled each with some Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  SOOPER EASY!!

You can’t see them, but I used the Pop Up Glue Dots to adhere the umbrella to the card base, and a Craft Glue Dot to adhere the button to the twine.  Glue Dots are my fave go-to adhesive when it comes to adhering embellishments and such to my projects.  They’re super easy to use, and you get a ton of product in every package!!

I wanted to show you a close up of a fun new impression plate that I just picked up from Taylored Expressions.  Oh my, right?!  Check out those yummy embossed clouds – LOVE!!  You’ll be seeing more of that baby in the very near future, for sure!
