Marilyn was Born to Sparkle!

TGIF crafty friends!  Susie here with another ATC*.  This one is features a collage I built around the Marilyn Monroe Washi Tape from Eyelet Outlet.  Time to play...

I started by stamping with black ink on white cardstock. 

I don't have pics of me building the collage.  I started with the images of Marilyn then added in bits from the Butterfly Music and Musical Notes washi tapes, keeping the lines horizontal.  I just played around until I was happy then I added the pops of red with the Skinny Washi tape. When I was done I matted the ATC, alternating black and white cardstock before popping it up on the card front.  And no card with Marilyn would be complete without bling, right?  The 12mm Jewel Bling comes in a pack of 40 self adhesive pieces in pink and red with a clear detail around the edge.

Make sure the inside is as pretty as the outside - love this sentiment!

I added some clear jewel bling.  Gotta love sparkle so it's a good thing it comes in packs of 100!

Whether you want individual jewels or long decorative strips, Eyelet Outlet has a wide variety of colors, sizes and styles. Be sure to check out the whole inventory of Sticky Back Bling HERE to find the finishing touch for your projects!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!  Susie

TGIF crafty friends!  Susie here with an ATC* brought to you courtesy of today's collaboration between Eyelet Outlet and Pink & Main!  As per usual, I started this card with an ATC*.

I was inspired by this stamp set from Pink & Main:  Believe Script.

So many empowering sentiments to choose from in this set, but I truly believe that "happy girls are beautiful" so I started by stamping with black ink on white cardstock.

Eyelet Outlet has the cutest Girl Washi Tape!  I think I love it so much because it reminds me of my daughter when she was little - brown hair, bangs, and always into something!  I alternated strips of these cute little images with trimmed down strips of Geometric Washi tape then I added a sprinkle of Enamel Hearts!

I like it just the way it is, but turning an ATC into a greeting card is super simple.  For the front of the card I chose a background paper that echoes the colors and shapes in the washi tapes...

...and then made sure the inside of the card is as cute as the outside!

And now it's time to head over to Instagram for the Hop with Pink & Main!
