Pile It On! Challenge - Say it in Style!

The theme of this week's Pile It On! Challenge is:

'Say it in Style!'
(Your saying has to have sparkles, rhinestones, pearls or bling galore)


Our sponsor for this challenge is Pizzazz Aplenty...who have put together a fabulous prize package containing gems, pearls, rhinestones and more worth over $10!

I decided not to include an image on my card, and made the sentiment the focal point. I don't really have any large sentiment stamps, so created mine using my word processing software, and printed it directly on to my card blank (please don't look too closely...my printer really hates card, so it's a little patchy). Then I went a little mad with adhesive gems!


Here are the challenges that I've Piled On!:
Please visit the Pile It On! Challenge for more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies.

    Stunning card!
    there is probably a tad too many gems for one Layer, but, it works very well as a card design

    Thank you Helen

    really like this - you can get away with the gems since the colour scheme is so restrained.xx
