TLT - Create Your OWN Designer Paper

This week's challenge was chosen by the amazing Ang! We were each to create our own designer paper and then whatever we wanted to do next - a card, a scrapbook page, a 3D item, etc. To be honest? I have no clue if I did this challenge correctly or not...but I am A-OK with that. LOL

I thought I'd show you what my* designer paper looked like before the final project. I used Chatty Nikki for my image (I *heart* Nikki images; I think they are my favorite); anyway, here's the designer paper:

It is soooo sparkly IRL; just super tough to photograph. Masks were used and then various glitter mists were sprayed over the masks; masks removed and voila, amazing designer paper!

I layered the DP on PTI's Dark Chocolate & Lavender Moon and accented with those colors throughout the card. The flower was created with PTI's Beautiful Blooms #3 floral die; two layers were cut from the custom DP; the other was cut from Dark Chocolate. I also used some blushing pearls to accent the center of the flower.

Nikki was colored with Copics and then MS clear glitter was added to her shirt and hair scrunchy. I'm telling you - she is one stylish chick!

Be sure to check out what the other Ladybugs have created for you; I promise some jaw-dropping - amazing - creations:

Hope you have a GREAT week; thanks for visiting, I love when you stop by and leave some love! Hugs, ~M.

    Love it Michele, to begin with (I'm obviously going through a very blonde phase at the moment) I thought you'd forgotten to add the LCI stamp!!! In all fairness to me the window opened quite small and I didn't read/look any further than the first image to begin with!! (Oh dear lol!)
    Gorgeous card, love you interpretation and the colours - lovely!
