Glitz and Glamour

Time for our third challenge over at Cardmadfairy's Digi Days already, I can't believe how quickly this year is going! The challenge this time is to make a Glitzy Glamorous project. The challenge is sponsored byStamp-n-Doodle who have some great digi images so please join in. I got this card ready last week because I was due to go up to Scotland during half term to have a delayed family Christmas and I knew I wouldn't have much time this week. I am really glad I did because when we got back to school on Monday we were told the dreaded Ofsted inspectors would be coming for a visit this week!! Panic stations!!!  Anyway back to the card, I used a combination of images this time. The bigger image is one of Cardmadfairy's digi images and the other one was a free stamp which came with Stamper magazine (I can't remember who it is by but if I do I will add the information). I liked the writing on it and the way it compliments the main image. The backing paper is a Basic Grey, the black ribbon came with a gift and I had bought the blue one to use on a sewing project but decided it was perfect for this. The crown is  Tim Holtz grungeboard which I coloured with a Promarker and the other bits were from my 'stash'.
