Whenever I create a layout or other project, I always try and find a way to use what I have and not to purchase things I may only use every now and again. And so it came to be that I needed a little piece of glossy cardstock, not something I use often, so I made my own for some stamped decorative elements and die-cuts.

I used the new All-Purpose inks from Tsukineko distributed by The Wholesaler in South Africa to create my sparkly papers. On the piece below I added some stamping...

and for the rest I used some new die-cuts by Ultimate Crafts to create this stunning effect. I think this may be by new most favourite die ever!
