Tuesday Throwdown #223 - Bling It On

Morning all!  I have woken up to what looks like it's going to be a beautiful day, bounced out of bed, put the washing machine on only to discover, horror of horror, my machine wouldn't fill!  I was very happy and relieved to discover that there is a burst water main and that it's not my washing machine, especially after having to replace my hoover and my microwave on the same day a couple of weeks ago!

Anyway, enough of my ranting...The theme this week at Tuesday Throwdown is Bling It On!  Love it!  As we all know I am a bit partial to some bling so this was right up my street.  The challenge is being sponsored by the talented people at

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and 
is owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.  Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to award the winner her choice of 3 digital stamps.

Here's my card...

 
The image I have used is called "Angel Chorus"  The papers are the Forever Friends Black & Gold stack from DoCrafts.  The gold mirror card I had stashed away from my days at Paper Mill Direct.  The white linen card stock is from there too.  The ribbon is from Sonas Made and the gems are from Kars.




 I loved this image...I made it quite big to go right across my card.
