Sparkle on your birthday

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I started by misting a piece of Coconut White Card with water, I sprinkled over CS Pixie Powders over. I made the background at Ally Pally and can't quite remember what colours I used. I think it's Aubergine Dream and Golden Mint.

Once dry, I cut it out using Sue Wilson's Essential Rectangles. I dusted with an Anti-Static Bag and stamped the image and the sentiment from the Woodware Mini Bubble Bloom : Annie Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder.

I popped some CS Golden Mint Pixie Powder into a Palette and used a Water Brush to paint the leaves on the image. I used Mango Blaze and Burnt Orange Pixie Powders to colour in some of the circles . I added Quickie Glue to the smallest circles. Once the glue was clear, I added CS Frosty Dawn Diamond Frost.

I matted onto Black Card and then onto a Coconut White Card blank.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  4. Hi Julia
    A lovely card.
    Hope you had a great day yesterday. I went to Newbury Papercraft Show with a friend and we had a brilliant day, lots of inspiration from the demos and samples, and I can't wait to get crafting with my new goodies.

  11. Very pretty card and lovely colours. I will have to look out for the Golden Mint as this is not in my stash and I rather like that colour.
