MIM #199: Confetti Garland

 
Hi there!
 
How are you on this fine Thursday morning?  I'd like to share with you a card I made for the challenge over at Papertrey Ink.  The theme is to make a confetti garland.  I got out my sparkle and shine kit and went to work.  Great patience was needed for the garland...whew!  Stringing all those tiny sequins was fun, but tedious.  And, would I do it again...yes!:-)  I just love the dimension and "fun" look of the garland, which matches perfectly with the sequin paper! 
 
Everything on the card is from PTI except for the silver thread.  For the love die, I stacked two pink and one blue for added dimension.  Three little sequins were added to the heart.  And, there you have it, my confetti garland card!
 
Thanks so much for taking a peek at my card today!  Have a great day and take care!
 
Hugs,
Maria
