Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - Sequins: with love

Blog-hop-logo
This month's challenge over at Papertrey Ink is to use sequins in projects.

I had a lot of fun making cards with sequins and actually mailed off an Easter card with them but didn't have a chance to photograph it!  Sequins add a little interest and texture to a card and I am loving them!  I used to always use them on one of my holiday card designs - a red sequin worked perfectly for Rudolph's nose! :)
I finally bought the notched flower dies - at first I thought I didn't need them but then decided they would be a good way to use up some patterned paper.  I took some Amy Tangerine paper I had and cut the flowers, edging them with the Vintage Tea dye ink.
I added some foam tape (I bought a big roll at the dollar store that has been serving me well) to the layers and some gold sequins on top for the centre.  A sentiment from Mini Blooms stamped in Vintage Cream ink completed the card.

Have you used any sequins lately?  What are your favourite colours?

Supplies:
Paper: PTI Smokey Shadow, Amy Tangerine patterned paper
Stamps: PTI Mini Blooms
Ink: PTI Vintage Tea dye, Vintage Cream
Misc: foam tape roll, gold sequins

Very pretty! I'll have to borrow your idea to use the notched flower dies on my patterned paper.
