Jacksonbelle Tuesday ~ Sandy Winter Birds!?!?!?!?

Happy Tuesday!
For today's Jacksonbelle DT challenge, we were to make a card that SHINES!!! You know, use glitter, bling, anything to make it SHINY!!! I LOVE shiny!!! This card actually isn't my NORMAL shiny but it is shiny! The layout of it is based on this week's sketch challenge at PaperCraftsPlanet ~ Sketch Challenge Group. The colors are based on today's color challenge at SCS ~ Black, Sahara Sand and Vanilla. Here is my card ~

I could not get a really good picture of this! The vanilla does not look vanilla but it REALLY is!!! The base of my card is Sahara Sand with a mat of Basic Black. The top portion, behind the bird, is Poison Ivory Shimmery cardstock and then THIS Prima transparency. The bottom portion where the Memory Box sentiment was stamped using Basic Black ink is Sahara Sand cardstock. I cut the bottom of this using a Martha Stewart border punch. I then added square pewter brads from THIS We R Memory Keepers Collection. I added a strip of black scalloped May Arts ribbon to cover the seams!

The beautiful bird image from Inkadinkado's Winter Birds Collection, was stamped 2 times ~ once on Sahara Sand and then again on Poison Ivory. I cut the Poison Ivory piece in to a square AS THE SKETCH SAID (I ALWAYS follow directions!!! LOL!!!) and then cut the bird using one of my circle Nesties. I mounted the Sahara bird on top of the Poison one using dimensionals!!! LOL!!! I "colored the snowflakes, just on the Sahara bird using Candle Light Shimmerz. Here is a close-up of the image~

I then added Black Diamond Stickles to the centers of the snowflakes just on the Sahara Sand piece. I then matted the Poison Ivory square on Basic Black and added the pewter photo corner (from the same We R Memory Keepers Collection as the square brads) using glue dots.
