The Love for Rocher Continues...


Who doesn't like Ferrero Rocher?! Husby darling has his second best love affair with it! We popped one each into our drooling mouths this afternoon after lunch and I kept staring at the wrapper absentmindedly until a thought struck. I had seen Order of the Opus Gluei's latest challenge - 'Bling it On!' and I had an idea for a card. So I snatched the wrapper from HD as he looked at me in confusion and brought out my craft stuff. And that's how the shiny flower bloomed onto my card :) I used the gold foil-like wrapper for the centre and the tiny muffin liner base for, well, the base! Also the middle layer of flower is from glitter cardstock and is the same technique as my previous card. I wanted more bling in it, so added the teardrop rhinestones and some gold twine. I just left it blank without any sentiment...maybe I'll use it as a Diwali card 'cos the rhinestones look like tiny flames of the diya.

I had to use the flash for my picture as I wanted to exaggerate the
bling factor. I'm, however, yet to perfect the art of taking good photos of my cards, sigh! I so need to practise...

wow, very creative use of the wrapper, I have been preserving the same for a long time now, but somehow could never figure out what to do with those.....

Your card is brilliant. I LOVE that you used the candy wrapper. I didn't recognize it as such until you pointed it out. Love all the bling you put on here. Perfect for Opus Gluei. Thanks for playing with us again.
