Anything But a Card Challenge: Shiny, Sparkly, Blingy

Hello everyone!  Today we start Challenge 3 here at Anything But a Card Challlenge Blog!  We loved all the fabulous entries for the Texture Challenge!

This Challenge is to make sure your project incorporates something shiny or sparkly or blingy!  Easy, right?  Especially if you like glitter and rhinestones, metal tape, gems, glossy accents, - but there are also lots of other ways to get a shine of some sort!

With the first part of the Design Team projects, you will see a few ideas that hopefully inspire you!  Be sure to stop by the individual blogs to see how the project was made.  We love hearing from you!

ABAC Challenge 1 Featured Artists

Well, we certainly had a hard time narrowing down and deciding on the Featured Artists for the first ABAC Challenge- anything goes!  Everyone contributed such wonderful and inspiring projects! Truly the talent showcased is truly astounding!

Since we had so many entries,  we decided to feature a delightful dozen!  I also have a Pinterest Board where your project is featured as well.  If for any reason you don't want it on Pinterest, just let me know, and I will remove it!

So without further delay here are our first Featured Artists!  Feel free to snag the badge on the top of this post for your blog!
