My item is a standard size card using the Sarita papers.  I used Sarita because this has been a kit that I wasn't totally loving.  The one thing I've found, if you aren't loving the paper, make something with it and you will surely change your mind.  I used card design 23 from the Make it From Your Heart Vol. 2 pattern book, p. 44.


Here is closer look at the glitter gel & the bitty sparkles:


Papers:   Sarita WOTG kit; Gypsy, Lagoon, Goldrush, and Colonial white cardstocks
