Carol<\/a>\u00a0used a Simon’s Exclusive\u00a0<\/span>Shine On\u00a0<\/a>stamp set,\u00a0<\/span><\/a>Stacked Stars <\/a>dies and lots of shimmery and shiny papers for this challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrea<\/a> shined up the edges of her cards with Simon Says Stamp’s\u00a0silver embossing powder<\/a>. \u00a0These sassy ladies came to life with the use of Dina Wakley’s \u00a0Text Scribbles<\/a> stamp set, Tim Holz’s Noble Gent<\/a> stamp set and some fabulous\u00a0Photobooth Vintage Photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> thinks that shimmer and shine works great for Halloween and made a tag. Most of the shine comes from Tim Holtz Mica Spray<\/a> and Halloween Deco Sheets<\/a>, forming a background to the fun Pumpkinheads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Barbara<\/a> used a lot of shimmer elements to create her card: Idea-ology Deco sheets <\/a>\u00a0, \u00a0Distress glitter<\/a>, Stickles Copper<\/a>,\u00a0for the\u00a0background new \u00a0\u00a0Tim Holtz Stamp and Stencil Exclusive Stamptember Set<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cathie<\/a> created a fun Halloween card using the Tim Holtz Haunted House<\/a> and Village Graveyard<\/a> dies. The shimmer and shine background is created with Distress inks<\/a> and Distress Clear Rock Candy<\/a> dry glitter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>\u00a0created a sparkly Halloween centrepiece full of shimmer and shine using Tim Holtz’s Witchcraft die<\/a> and surrounding it with mini pumpkins<\/a> and skulls<\/a>\u00a0and lighting it up using a Prima Light Strand<\/a>\u00a0inserted into an altered jar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a> created a card with lots of shimmer and shine using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Metallic Kraft Stock<\/a> with Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Stitched Rectangles<\/a>, Garden Greens<\/a> and Wildflowers<\/a> Thinlits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lols\u00a0<\/a>made a \u00a0simple Christmas card using the\u00a0Tim Holtz Stamp and Stencil Exclusive Stamptember Set.\u00a0<\/a>She used 3D Sparkle Puff Embossing Powder<\/a> for the snowman and Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder<\/a> and a sprinkling of Prisma Glitter <\/a>for the stencilled background. She also used Lindy’s Gang Sassy Sapphire Starburst Spray <\/a>for extra shimmer<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Macarena <\/a>made a very rich in layers and details girly card, all in pink and silver. She made her background using a Simon Says Stamp Large Dots Stencil<\/a> and Grit Paste. For the frame she took Sizzix Ornate Frame 2<\/a> and a Simon’s Exclusive Stitched Circle<\/a>. She kept her bicolor card using black and white Botanical Layers by Tim Holtz and added silver Butterflies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maura<\/a> created a shimmery art journal page using Nathalie Kalbach’s Elephant foam stamps from Stampendous<\/a>, Dina Wakley’s Scribble Sticks<\/a>, and Prima’s Acrylic Paint Sparks in Fairy Wings<\/a> and Mermaid Sparkle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create an art journal page using the new\u00a0STAMPtember\u00ae<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Exclusive Tim Holtz Rubber Stamp<\/a> for the winter scene, and added some shimmer and shine with Simon Says Stamp Embossing Powder Gold<\/a>\u00a0and Ranger Snowflake Tinsel Embossing Powder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandra<\/a> went for a shimmer and shine Halloween card using the Batground stencil<\/a> and Texture Paste<\/a> mixed with Metallic Gunmetal paint<\/a>. The Raven die <\/a>got some shimmer because of the\u00a0 \u00a0Nuvo Pure Platinum Mousse<\/a>. And the shine is from the Foil Cardstock<\/a> behind the cut out Happy from the Holiday Words 2 Thin dies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoey<\/a> used Distress Crayons<\/a>, Prima Marketing Colors<\/a> and Tim Holtz tattered Florals<\/a> to alter this wood ticket piece<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
