a shiny sequin-y salutation

yesterday, i made a card for the super trendy and super fun runway inspired challenge!
i LOOOOOOVE any color that's paired with grey! it's my current favorite color combo! (grey + any thing! lol!) so the inspiration photo this week is right up my alley! :)

i wanted to play on the shiny sparkles with a different kind of shiny element - silver embossing powder! ooooo, ahhhh!

i used the tiny triangles from the mama elephant stamp set, trifecta. i heat embossed them in silver, and let me just tell you...it's AWESOME! i don't know if it's just because it's on top of the grey cardstock, but i'm loving the silver look even more than i thought i would! lol!

ok, moving on. i stamped out one of the speech bubbles and sayings from the hello stamp set and popped it up for the dimension factor! then i added some shiny, silver sequin and a few pearls and vwa la! 
fun fact - i only have white pearls, so i used my markers (my best friends the sharpie markers!) to color the pearls this super fun fushia! it totally works seamlessly, and that way, i don't need 25 different colors and packs of pearls! :) oh yeah.

so that's it! 
enjoy!
