Let's bling!

"O Bling, Bling, wherefore art thou Bling?!?"

Ok, I'm not crazy... I just want declare my deep love for bling, shining embellishments in general: pearls, gems, glittering and stickles, bright ribbons... how could we leave without them?!? Best friends of every crafter, always present in empty spaces, or just for underline some particulars... so valued!
Perfect for this theme, I have to introduce you new challenge on SOME ODD GIRL (what a strange, uhm?!): BLING IT UP! Started on last thursday (but you know I'm always in late), it's our first challenge of 2O12, and we're pretty sure you'll be inspired by the Odd Girls' creations... just go on the blog for see what they made.

IT'S BLING IT OUT TIME!

That’s right. BLING. You know you love it. We certainly love it. I want to see a lot of bling and at least 2 types. Option include but are not limited to: pearls, rhinestones, stickles, loose glitter, foil, embossed foil, misting, glaze. The list goes on!
While we’re quite sure you won’t need much to inspire you for this one, we still have some goodies to share! Check out our very talented and all-blinged-out Odd Girls!

"O Brillantino, Brillantino, perchè sei tu Brillantino?!?"

Ok,non sono impazzita... Voglio solo dichiarare il mio profondo amore per i brillantini, o per gli abbellimenti brillanti in generale: perle, gemme, glitter e stickles, nastri scintillanti... come potremmo vivere senza di loro?!? Migliori amici di ogni crafter, sempre presenti nei piccoli spazietti vuoti, o anche solo per sottolineare alcuni particolari.. Preziosissimi!
Perfetto per questo tema, devo introdurvi il nuovo challenge della SOME ODD GILR (ma che strano!): BLING IT UP! Iniziato lo scorso giovedì (ma ormai sapete che sono sempre in ritardo), è il nostro primo challenge ufficiale del 2O12, e siamo sicuri che sarete molto ispirati dalle creazioni delle nostre ragazze... basta andare sul blog per ammirare ciò che hanno realizzato.

E' TEMPO DI BRILLARE!

E' giusto. BRILLARE. Sapete di amarlo. Noi sicuramente lo amiamo. Vogliamo vedere un sacco di "brillìo" e di almeno due tipi diversi. L'opzione include, ma non è limitato solo a: perle, stickles, strass o gemme, brillantini sparsi, materiali cangianti, misting, lucido... E la lista potrebbe proseguire!
Anche se siamo sicuri che non avrete bisogno di altro per ispirarvi per questo challenge, abbiamo qualche chicca da mostrarvi! Controllate cosa hanno creato le nostre talentuose e tutte brillantinose Odd Girls!


This is my shining work; I used bright ribbon, stickles on flowers and unicorn, pearls, gems, crystal stem, pins... Think it's enough, uhm?! I totally love this stamp, is soooo sweeet... and I adore use and colouring it, too! Do you remember my last creation with him? In that occasion, he brought a magical music, this time he has stardust in his hoofs, wings, horn and surely heart ;) Perfect for a baby girl!... after all, who have never dream to ride once?!

❝ ❞

Questo è il mio "brillante" lavoro; ho usato un nastro sbrilluccicoso, stickles su fiori e unicorno, perle, gemme, lo stelo con le gemme, spilli... Penso che sia abbastanza, uhm?! Amo pazzamente questo timbro, è coooooooosì dolce... e adoro anche usarlo e colorarlo! Ricordate la mia ultima creazione con lui? Quella volta, portò una musica magica, stavolta invece ha polvere di stelle nei suoi zoccoli, ali, corno e sicuramente cuore ;) Perfetto per una bambina... dopotutto, chi non ha mai sognato di
cavalcare un unicorno?!

They'll be better than candies, absolutely!!
In my first card, with Tia, I tried to create a scene at the twilight, with the beautiful ghosty girl sitting on a pumpkin... probably waiting for his lost love; in the second I tried to create a really original decomposed mummy's skin, but he is too much cute and I couldn't run away... bbrrrr spooooooky!!
I waited so long for use these stamps... and now I can!! I love, LOVE, Halloween theme and these stamps are some of most beautiful, cute and sweet I've ever seen (they're among my favourite stamps)!!!
