Tacky TLC!

OMGoodness! I've NEVER in my life made a card this flashy! Today's Technique Lover's Challenge was to use tape and glitter to make a background. Well...the only colored glitter I had was this super chunky glitter from waaay back when (it is actually kids' craft glitter). I decided to just go for it and see what happened. I used several different widths of tape to make it more interesting. Heheh, it's a little scary isn't it!?

The sentiment, applied with markers direct to stamp, is from a Hero Arts set called Many Hearts available from i {heart} papers. I first covered an SU chipboard piece (a small heart within a square) with Whisper White cardstock, trimmed the paper from the space the heart belonged, and tucked the heart back in after giving it a generous coating of red glitter. The edges of the square were gently dabbed with silver metallic paste to give it enough glitz to go with all that gaudiness!

Some really girlie little girl might love this card?! LOL!
