ACOT Message Board

Happy New Year!!! What comes to mind with celebrating the New Year are Diamonds and Bling. Those are my only requirements this month. Any size diamonds and add some bling! Bling can be anything sparkly or glittery. I know there are some patterned papers with diamonds or you can cut your own. Be creative and looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Here's my example using diamonds cut from patterned paper and lots of flourish bling.

For the fine print....
This can be a paper or digital layout or a card. All work must be new. You may do this more than 1 time. You may combine this with one other Challenge that allows that. Please link your work here. Deadline is January 31st. A random winner will be selected for a $5 ACOT gift card from me!

Hope you have FUN with this!

oooh good one.  I have lots of diamond shape pp from back when I was into argyle.  lol

Love diamonds and bling.  Fun Challenge.

Here is my entry. I used the cut outs from the diamond border to make my flowers, and used liquid pearls on all of it.

Such beautiful work with the diamond border, Susan! I love that you used Liquid Pearls too! Thanks a bunch for taking my challenge!

Lots of Bling at Christmas!  Love this
Here is my page, I used diamond shaped wood veneers and red pearls and star.
Combo with the Manufacturer.

I removed mine, as my "diamonds" were triangles. Diamonds cut in half??

I love those cute packages!! Nice work with all the little wooden veneers and thanks for playing along, Karrie! 

the matts and the snowflakes are all glittered and the diamonds are cut from a 6x6 MME stack

So festive with all the glittery snowflakes and nice idea with the row of diamonds too! Thanks a bunch for taking my challenge, Charleneanne!

Here is mine Deanna! I used a border of diamonds AND bling on my stars!! 
 

I re-did the challenge! I found this awesome kit and has a code for 30% off, so I had to have it! It has a big ol` diamond in it! So cute!
