What a fun challenge going on over at the CAS-ual Friday's blog! I never would have thought of doing this on my own. I had such fun using glitter, which I rarely do. I've made two cards for the challenge but first, I want to show you how I created those fun, little glittery dots. Here's a photo:
I used the larger glue dots and poured pink and purple glitter all over them. Then I used a hole-punch, to punch out the perfect circles, to use on my cards. Here's the first one, using the Hero Arts Artists Butterfly:
I colored it with Copics before adding the dots. I had a bunch of dots left over, so I decided to use them on another fun card.
The grayish looking dots are actually a beautiful dark purple color but I was not able to capture it in the photo! This card was made with all scraps from my desk, except for the card base, which I stamped and white embossed with the Hero Arts Raindrop Background.
There is now glitter EVERYWHERE! Even on my (white) cat, Murphy! hee, hee!
It's a beautiful day here today! I've opened the windows for the first time in a long while and that fresh air smells sooo good! I'm heading outside to enjoy it and work in the gardens. Hope you all have a wonderful day too and thanks for stopping by! :)

This is so inventive, Barb!! What a fabulous idea and design! Love your tips! So glad that you are having fun with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge!
LOVE LOVE the glittery details on this butterfly!! What a GREAT take on the glittery and glue dot theme! Fantastic design, Barb! Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
Yes, I love making glittery dots with Glue dots! Your cards are so pretty and yummy, reminds me of ice cream cones for some reason...maybe I'm just hungry!
I came over from the Moxie Fab World post about me! I wanted to say thanks for the sweet comment! I also love butterfly card--so cute and pretty at the same time! The other card is cute, too! :-)
Love both of these Barb. I almost used the butterfly on this one - good choice!! Great coloring on the butterfly and I love the overall design of the second one. I know what you mean - it's hard to photograph glitter - I was hoping my glitter was white, but it was clear so I could barely get it to show up in the pic.
Both your cards are lovely Barb. Love those colors and glittery circles:)
How beautifull, Barb. Love how you embelish the butterfly and the sweet dotted second card. Thanks for sharing the tip.
Hello Barb
I Just love that Butterfly,with all the glitter and the pinks and purples it looks fantastic, I like how you have made a circle card too I think it sets off your image so well.
As always your copic colour work is so good.
Smiles:)
Oh, my! I would have the glitter everywhere but on the glue dots, I'm afraid! What great cards you have created with this technique, Barb! That butterfly is one of my favorite stamps.
I spy a winner! What a great idea Barb...this is gorgeous...I bet your hubby loves the glitter everywhere...wink, wink!! :)

Wonderful cards, Barb! I love the way you've used your glittery glue dots, I haven't tried that technique either but I bet it's lots of fun! Lol, I'm imagining sparkling Murphy running around the place!

Oh, these are both sooo fun, Barb! Love it! I have to admit, I don't use glitter too much because of the mess...lol...I'm happy with glossy accents and stickles..I do love the look of glitter though!
