DDD April 2022 "Holographics"

 This month our hostesses were Darlene for Jeanette's team and Terry for Kelly's. I am on Kelly's team so Terry sent my kit to me. These two got together and decided to have Holographics as the theme this month. Terry and Darlene bought the same holographic paper for all the kits on both teams. Terry also cut out some of the holographic paper with geometric shapes that we could use on our cards if we wanted to. She included 3 different sies of hexagons. 

The kits we received contained:

Image: candles from the Simon Says Stamp set "Birthday Borders"

Sentiment: Altenew "Kind of Confetti"

Glitter paper from the Paper Studio  and Holographic set 2-Pink & Main

Ribbons from Terrys stash

Gems--The Paper Studio

Sequins--Unity

At the end of the kit list Terry says.  It doesn't matter how you use your papers, as long as you used some of the holographic paper on your card.

I took my kit to a retreat I was attending and decided to work on it there. Since I love glitz and glitter I thought  this should be relatively easy.  Boy was I wrong. I started my first card by cutting 1/8 " strips of the glitter paper and 1/4" strips of holographic paper and then weaving them together on the front of the card using a pink base. Can you say ick??? it really was not a card I was  fond of or ready to put my name on. So , back to square one. This time I used a black base...colored up the candle image with glitter gel pens and the mounted the candles on holographic paper. I divided the front of the card with a strip of the blue glitter paper . I used a die border I had with me and cut the border out of holographic paper. Between the glitter and holographic border I used a layer of gems to highlight the card.  After  putting this together I liked it much better. 

Anyway, here is my card: 

Thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate it.

I hope you like this card. I didn't even take a picture of the other card I was so disappointed with it.  Please stop by the other DDD challenge friends if you get a chance I am sure you won't be disappointed.

Until next time.

Hugs.
