Supplies: snowflake & circle stamps from PTI; sentiment from AmyR Designs; Memento Gray Flannel ink; Distress inks in Peacock Feathers & Tumbled Glass; Studio G clear glitter glue; teal rhinestones from Dollarama
This is the first time I've tried stamping with glitter glue - I used a paint brush to smooth it onto the stamp, and cleaned the stamp in between every time so that none would dry on the stamp. It was time consuming (and hard to photograph!) but stunning in real life. Just the right amount of subtle shine. I love the bokeh trend & can see me using it a LOT for Christmas cards this year.
Here's Janet's gorgeous card - I was inspired by the circles on her tree, and the blue & white colours, and smidge of sparkle on the star!
You have a little longer to play - the MUSE link up is here.

So pretty Jessi, love the subtle shimmer you have added!
Gorgeous, Jessi! Great job on the bokeh effect.
I agree -- bokeh is a fun effect, and it's beautiful here! Like the shimmery ones especially.
A perfect card for Christmas!!!! LOVE everything about this beauty. Perfect take on that inspiration photo too!

Oh my goodness, Jessi! I think this is my favorite card you've made--love it!
Jessi - I love the direction you've taken this in! Thanks so much for joining us at Muse this week!
Jessi this is amazing, wonderful gorgeous card!! I adore it!!
How fun, Jessi! I love how artfully you placed all of those pretty blue circles, silvery snowflakes, and sparkle rhinestones. Perfect :)
Very pretty and fun design Jessi.
Hugs Diane
this is so pretty! very inspiring for a holiday card -- great idea! xo
Definitely a fun card! I LOVE circles and you have placed them perfectly. Very cool!
Love the bokeh effect - great take on the Muse!
Sounds like a fun technique and your card was well worth all the hard work, it's fabulous Jessi!
oooohhh...I love it! I'm on a holiday card kick too:)
Awesome card, love the shades of blue. Great use of the bling. I'm also into Christmas cards, that's great for me as I'm usually scrambling the second week of December.
Wow! Jessi this card is absolutely stunning! Love the touch of glitter and you nailed the bokeh effect!
oh ♥WOW♥!!! now see, that's waaaaaaaaaaaaay too cleaning-intensive for me; and frankly there's a chance i could become adhered TO THE CARD before it was finished... but it's GORRRRRRGEOUS and i'm totally jealous of your extreme skill AND patience!!! (& the fact that you DO NOT seem to be adhered to the card in any way, lol!) :)
Love your card, I'm a sucker for the colours you've used and snowflakes! Hugs Bev x
Wonderfully light and floaty - perfect with those snowflakes. Thanks for playing at Muse Card Challenge
Love the card interpretation ~ I need to try out some challenges again here soon. The bubbles and snowflakes are great together!
What a sensational take on the Muse card, Jessi!! It's such a shame that sparkle is so hard to photograph since so often are cards are FABULOUS in real life! I've never tried stamping with glitter glue ... hmmm. Hugs, Darnell
This is a cool take on the muse! Fab!
This is such a fun card!! I bet it was fun to make, too!!
What a cool experiment! I am going to have to try this too! Love the look of your card. :)
Love this card, Jessi. The colours and they way you played with circles! A very elegant experiment.

Love! Great inspiration pic, and great take on it, making it your own. It definitely reminds me of bokeh.
BEautiful! You tried the Bokeh! YEA! I love your result! I have some I did I hope to use later. Great take on the Muse too! I wanted to do it but ran out of time with the trip and all. I'm so in stamping withdrawals already! I still have a week left before I get back home and in my craft room! But it's great to see my son! But Oklahoma is just too freaking flat for me! LOL
I LOVE how you took the circles from her tree to create a circle background...way to use the inspiration perfectly! Love the scattered snowflakes and layout. Just beautiful!
