Sparkle & Shine Blog Hop & Challenge

Hi there my dear friends, how are you today?
Have you noticed recently that sparkle fever is taking over the world? ;)
Of course, there are people who prefer their creations to be glitz-free but I get the feeling that there are many of us here who just can't resist a little bit of glitter here and there...

(Supplies used: Prima Art Basics: Black Gesso, 3D Gloss Gel, Soft Gloss Gel, Art Ingredients: Ebony and Ivory Fine Glitter Set, Glass Beads - Zinc, Micro Beads - Black, Mechanicals - 3D Roses, Gears, Leaves, Trinkets, Caps, paper flower and some Primary Elements mixed with water: Stargazer, Evening Primrose, Mystique. Splashes of gold: Prima Color Bloom - Gold Foil.)



I have to admit it is almost impossible to take a photo of this project n a way to show how beautifully shiny it is - wonderful holographic glitter I used simply doesn't show all it's splendor on my photos. Sigh!



My wonderful Creative Team also decided to have some Sparkle and Shine fun... ;)
Together we've made this brand new challenge and Blog Hop for you - inspired by (of course!)
everything that sparkles and shines!


Ready to play? Here's how our challenge works:

First of all, make sure you blog hop with my Creative Team. Below you can see the list of all the blogs where you can find some really breathtaking artworks.
Make sure you visit each of the ladies to see in detail how they played with all kinds of sparkling materials. Don't forget to leave a kind comment! :)


Now it's your turn! We hope you'll feel inspired and ready to create some sparkle of your own!
The rules of the challenge are very simple indeed - you can create any kind of project (layout/art journal/altered art/ATCs etc) and our Creative Team will vote on their favorite one.
The only rule is: making it sparkle and shine! :)

Did I mention, there is a prize to win? here it goes! 

(Yes - all the products from Finnabair line you can see on the photo are waiting!)

Please add the link with your project to InLinkz on the bottom of the post! 
We can't wait to see your artworks!

The challenge's open 'till February 8th.
Good Luck!
