The Mixed Media Card Challenge #25 {Sparkle}

Welcome to a brand new challenge here at The Mixed Media Card Challenge! For our challenge this month, the theme is SPARKLE, and optional element: GEMS. Lots of ways you can go with the theme -- use mediums that make your card sparkle; go with ink or paint colors whose names suggest sparkle (e.g., gold, silver, sapphire); include an object that sparkles or the word "sparkle". We hope you'll have a go at creating a mixed media card that follows the theme with or without gems. The team can't wait to see what beauties you'll be linking up!

HOW TO PLAY

1. Create a mixed media CARD based on the theme, with or without the optional element.
