I was so excited to play around with the NEW Neon Glitters and Disco Girlfriends Stamp set!

Here is what I created:

First, I cut the step card from Strawberry Cardstock {98104} using the Sizzix die (or you can find a cut file in the shop here.  I picked some paper from my stash to really go with the "disco" theme.  I used the Disco Girlfriends Digital stamp {DIGI774} and printed off the rockin' ladies.  I fussy cut one of them out and adhered to my card front.  Next, I stamped the sentiments using the Disco Girlfriends Stamp Set (non-digital) {774}  with Versamark Ink {VM001}, sprinkled on Blueberry Embossing Powder (EP240) and heat set.  I cut them out with some round dies and then stamped again (with Versamark) the flower from the stamp set.  I used Cherry Embossing Powder (EP228) and heat set.  I adhered them to my card with 1/4" Tearific Tape {SAT01}.

Next came some extra fun!  I took a piece of white cardstock and adhered a section of 2.5" Tear-ific Tape {SAT11} onto it.  I removed the backing and made a background using my NEW Neon Glitters (Exhulted G1132, Energized G1133 and Electrified G1135), I simply took small bits of each glitter and sprinkled on randomly (obviously I had to discard the excess as it was all mixed together, so I was extra careful not to use too much excess!).  I burnished it well into the Tear-ific tape and then cut out the fun flowers with dies.  How much fun can you see yourself using these glitters?  :D

I hope you enjoyed this card - I sure had fun making it!

The next stop on our Blog Hop is ERET and you can find her blog here!

Good luck and have fun!
