Shimmer & Glitter Mother's Day -

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you all had a Fabulous Weekend! Did you enjoy your Mother's Day? I certainly did... It was wonderful getting a call from my older boys and spending some quality time with my youngest! My mom lives with us, so she is always here to celebrate with us! :)
Speaking of Mom - I thought I would share the card I made her for Mother's Day - She reads my blog so I make sure not to post anything for her until after she has received it - :)
Here's the card I made her --

My Mother likes the Color Purple - I'm more of a Blue Gal, but when I'm thinking of her - I think Shades of purple! :) I watched a video by Jennifer McGuire the other night with Double Sided Adhesive, Glitter, & Copic Markers and thought I would give it a go ---
Now, I don't have any Copic Markers (to rich for my blood) but thought I would try with my Spectrum Noir Markers - Well, when that didn't work for me - I tried using my Tim Holtz Distress inks - and that worked! So, here's how I created this card -
Cardstock - Stampin' Up, American Crafts Designer Paper - Kaiser Craft (Violet Crush) Recollections (Color Splash) "Happy" Die & Sentiment - My Craft Spot (No Longer in Business) Butterfly Die - Gina Marie (Whimsical Butterfly) Circle Frame Collage Cut - Silhouette Store (# 61897) White Glitter - Stampin' Up Tim Holtz Distress inks - Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord,  Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves
I cut only the circles out on a piece of white cardstock - using the "no cut" for the outside circle design - then I went back with a piece  of my purple designer paper to cut out the outside layer - I then cut a piece of 2 3/4" x 4" white cardstock added double sided adhesive to it - then poured white glitter over it - burnished the glitter into the adhesive so it would stick - then pulled out my blending tool & the Distress inks - and started to blend my colors together on the glitter - which changed it from white glitter to the pretty  colors I used! I attached the 2 3/4" x 4 glitter to the backside of the cut out circles - so they could "peek" through - Added the Happy Die - then the sentiment - Cut out the lovely butterflies and added dimensionals to "POP" them up on the card - 
I really like the "CAS" look of this one with all the shimmer & glitter it has - and so did my Mom Which is the most important part of my card! :)
