Glittery Color Challenge

Happy New Year!  I'm back with another monthly challenge from the House of Cards.
To use glitter and/or be inspired by this~
glittered (blues)

Now glitter is not one of my favorite things to work with so I had to dig around to find anything glittery but here's what I came up with.

Crafty Colonel, StampinUp, Thinlit Snowflake Die, Winter Card, House of Cards Challenge Blog,

I used my NBUS (never before used schtuff) (see Darnell at DJKardkreations.com for more info) Stampin'Up! Thinlit Snowflake Card Die.  Here's what it looks like opened.

Crafty Colonel, StampinUp, Thinlits Snowflake Card Die, Winter Card, House of Cards Challenge Blog,
Isn't that "BRR" cute?  For the card I used two kinds of glitter paper.  The blue glitter paper is from DCWV, my preferred kind to use because the glitter is embedded in the cardstock and does not shed.  The silver glitter is from Stampin'Up! and it does shed but creates a beautiful sparkle.  You can see the difference here in this close-up.

Crafty Colonel, StampinUp, Thinlits Snowflake Card Die, Winter Card, House of Cards Challenge Blog,

The challenge at the House of Cards is for all month long.  You don't have to use glitter - you can just follow the color scheme instead.  Hope to see you on the House of Cards Challenge Blog.
I am also entering this in Darnell's NBUS Challenge #3.

Never-Before-Used-Schtuff (Stamps, Dies, EFs, etc.)
Happy Crafting!

    Hi Donna
    Fabulous card and love the Brrrrrr. I'm not a glitter fan either so only used it sparingly on my card,
    Hope you have a wonderful 2015.

    This is very pretty, Donna! You know I think I have that thinlits die and have never used it. YOU can be MY inspiration for using NBUS!! The shimmer of your paper is just the right amount and, yes, that BRR is adorable!! Thank you so much for linking up with my NBUS Challenge #3!! Hugs, Darnell

    Now that is cool--love the twisting snowflake. I'm with you about glitter--pretty but can be ever so messy.
