Hello it is time for another StampTV CSS blog hop. You should have arrived here from the incredibly talented and lovely Betty. If you get lost along the way you can get the entire blog hop list of participants at StampTV. This time the challenge is to create a clean and simple (CAS) card or project, use only embellishments that sparkle (glitter, rhinestones, etc.).
I picked Spoon Me from Rebecca Oehlers to work with and created this card. 
I had so much fun with this card. I tried to keep it simple and with the bowling ball I may have pushed it a bit. I knew I wanted a bowling ball and s circle punched out of card stock just didn't get it for me. So I started thinking about how a real ball looks and they are very often marbled. Then I remembered Gina's shaving cream technique and tada I had what I needed to get the perfect bowling ball. I did try to get a red one, however it kept coming out pink so black it is. I also added three very small black punch pieces of card stock to create the finger holes. Unfortunately they don't show in the photo. Here is a close up.
Still using Spoon Me I created this fun card.
