Halloween Inspiration & Giveaway

Enjoy today's projects, and stop by the Glitz Blog for details on entering the giveaway. Each person will have the possibility of four entries in the giveaway!

Prima's 12x12 stencils are perfect for creating custom backgrounds. I love the look of ombre, so I dabbed the ink on darker in the corners and faded it out toward the center. I used a makeup sponge to dab the ink onto the cardstock for a smooth appearance. Pairing the ombre diamonds with the geometric patters in the "Raven" line helps keep things looking unified.

Finally cluster a few layers of great Glitz patterned paper and Prima embellishments and you're set!

Messages from Heaven

Nearly every change of season brings us a fresh batch of color combination trends to try. This fall the Glitz team is taking the Green/Pink/Neutral combo for a spin. I had a hard time choosing between white and warm gray for my neutral, so in the end I went with both. The white I kept as a canvas and the warm gray as the accent. 

The photo was extra special to me because it was a little memento I found of my dad's one day when cleaning my house. When he was sick his pockets were always supplied with cough drops that had little messages on the wrappers. This was one of the wrappers I found not long after he passed away. It was like a little message from heaven.
