MIM #301 Matting with Glitter

I am playing with Make it Monday where Lizzie is using glitter to mat a frame.
I took a close up so you could see the pretty sparkle and shine from the glitter.

 I made another one with leaves for a more fall card.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!  Have a great weekend!
Heart Hugs, friends!

Your first card has such a pretty folk art feel and I love the matting and glittered background! The second one is so very cute...love the leaves and little acorns! I lived in West Linn for 7 years and it is a beautiful spot!

I love the glitter matting and Lizzie's video is wonderful. It makes glittering so clean and easy. I end up with it everywhere and sparkle for a long time! Even had it in the dogs water dish. I love the cards especially the fall card with the pretty leaves. Have a great weekend.

Both cards are beautiful! I love the reindeer and the soft colors with all of that sparkle. Your fall card with those gorgeous leaves is lovely too.

Dash Away All is one of my new favorite sets and I love the way you used it on your card with the glittery Mix & Mat die.

2 beauties, Colleen! Think I need to use glitter mats more often--love what they add to a card!

Colleen, these are both gorgeous! The first frame on the Christmas card is something I can't wait to case. My dancing reindeer is still enroute. It's what happens to mail when you live out in the country. Love the autumn leaves card too. May have to case both!

These are outstanding Colleen! The first card with the reindeer is amazing. I love it. Gingham is perfect with those amazing leaves and that touch of glitter. Cheers.

These are both SOOOOO pretty Colleen! Absolutely LOVE the Dasher card...I bought the die because all I could think about was making a garland out of them like Lizzie did and I don't even have a fireplace to put a garland on...but I'll find someplace to put it!! :0)
