IHP June Challenge-Add a little bling :)

Have you seen the fabulous self adhesive crystals from Zva Creative in the i {heart} papers store?!?!?!  They are so super shiny and so easy to work with, I {heart} them :)  This month the ihp DT has been challenged to make a project using these fabulous crystals, or some other form of bling.  I have been looking to jazz up this frame for a while so I thought this was the perfect excuse to do so.  

The frame is from the unfinished wood section at Michaels, even though it's not wood, I think it's MDF but anyway....that's where I found it.  The frame measures a full 12x12 which allowed me to use the entire sheet of this adorable paper Fancy Free paper from Moxxie.  I will totally admit that I have been hanging on to this paper for a while.  It was one of those "too pretty to cut" papers but with this project I didn't have to cut any of the prettiness. I added some silver stickles in the center of each of the flowers on the paper. Then I added one of the small crystal flourishes framing the top and bottom corner of the picture.  To finish off the sparkle I adhered a sparkling flower to a scrap paper and cut it out and then put in in the upper corner of the picture opening.  A few pieces of glimmer ribbon finished off the sparkle and shine for the frame :D  

Materials used: fancy free (moxxie); glimmer ribbon-magenta, pink, pastel blue (creative impressions); small flourish crystal, sparkling flower (zva creative); silver stickles (ranger)

I do have to apologize for the quality of these pictures....it is really difficult to take a picture  of a frame and even more difficult to attempt to capture all the shimmer and shine of the crystals and stickles.  Sorry!!!  You'll just have to trust me when I say this baby shines!!  Here is a close up of the sparkling flower in the sunlight...you can *almost* see how shiny these crystals are....almost.

Make sure you check out the blogs for the other ihp design team members today to see what sparkly creations that they have come up with :)  I promise you won't be disappointed!!!

This is beautiful! I love the way the swirls of the bling go along with the swirly paper designs. And what a little doll-girl!
