Sparkle and Shine with PIO

This week's Pile It On challenge#17 theme is "Sparkle and Shine".  So get out your bling and go to town, as if you needed an excuse.  This challenge made me think of my favorite shiney thing, jewelry.  When my mother passed away she left me a very different and beautiful cameo.   Instead of being made from a carved shell this one is all gold with diamonds and pearls trim.  I don't think I would have picked this out for myself but because it was my mom's it is very dear to me.  So I made this card with her in mind.   


don't forget the inside
It's difficult to see in the photo but for shine the image was stamped in Versamark with white embossing powder and there's bling in the corners of the bottom layer. 

If your not familiar with Pile It On, the idea is to find as many challenges as you can to enter your card or project in.  Check out what the rest of the design team has posted and you'll probably find a few challenges you didn't even know existed.  I learn of a new challenge every time I look through the rest of the design team's posts.
