a cute little saurus

i was able to get some creative juice flowing today for my card for the latest paper smooches sparks challenge! it's a cool shades color challenge! 

and here's my cute little scene - warning: there's lots of cute happening here. :)

i used 4 paper smooches stamp sets: happy camper, sentiment sampler, metropolis and party posse.
the images are all paper pieced and fussy cut out. i popped up the clouds and marshmallows for a little added fun! 

the sentiment is heat embossed. and here's where it gets questionable...i started by added glossy accents to the fire...ok. but then i thought, hmm, i used ribbon the other day...why not use another supply i have a ton of and don't use...glitter! 

i immediately regretted that decision. like a lot of glitter ventures, it was messy, overwhelming and (in this case) permanent! lol! i was imagining just a hint of glitter to replicate sparks in a bon fire...but alas. glitter is not delicate medium! at least not in my house with the little ones running around knocking things over, reaching for containers and 'wanting to help'! :)
come to think of it...there's a reason that glitter was in a bottom door of my expedite...

ha ha!
so that's that! i still think it's one card with a lot of cute, even if i am still finding glitter on my desk. 
enjoy!
