Good afternoon... hope you are all enjoying the weekend... I have some sparkle for you today!! As soon as I saw this Kenny K image - Freida Flapper... I knew that I had to make a Ritzy Glitzy Valentines Card!! Wow! isn't she gorgeous!! I loved going overboard with the bling here...
I've used some Coredinations Red Glitter Card and run a Swirl die through the middle. Then re-positioned the two halves so that the shape in the black shows through. The pink glitter heart is my new Embosslits - Heart Lace die.
Top Tip: I always have terrible trouble arranging and sticking my feathers to cards... so much so that I usually give up and take them off! and then I am left with a gluey mess!! but I have a HUGE bag of feathers that I've had in my stash for ages... so I was determined to use some on this card... so this time I tried glueing the end of the feathers to a small circle of card first and it really seemed to help... once they are glued flat on the little piece of card... you can then position and stick them where you want easily. To finish off.. just cover the circle of card with a flower or embellie..
the gorgeous red flower and gold wire embellie was a Christmas pressie from my daughter... and the little red heart embellies on the image are from JosyRose. Sentiment was made on computer.
I've coloured Frieda with Promarkers and Flexmarkers:-
Skin: Putty, Sunkissed Pink
Reds: Burgundy, Crimson, Ruby
Pinks: Blossom, Rose Pink
Eyes: Cappuccino Flexmarker

Absolutely fabulous card, love all the glitter and embellies.
I bought both the image you used at MAWTT and this one and I have made a 18th with the glass one and a 50th with this one and I did my version of this one in black and hot pink, my neighbour who ordered the cards was thrilled to bit with both but mine were not a patch on yours.
But I did really enjoy using both images.

What a great tip for the feathers as I have had that prob too in the past...Hope it doesn't snow for you, but I think we might all be in for some...I am dreading it. I hope you are OK and have a good Sunday hun, Biggest of Hugs, Teresa xxx
This is fab Sue. Great colouring, I love that hair. Great tip on the feathers. The last card I made with feathers was awful but I had to use it for my DT as I had run out of time.
We are suppose to have snow tonight but I hope it misses us. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
