Sparkly Birthday Card

Hi Nicole here.  I never, ever have enough birthday cards.  I recently just used the last one and so I’ve been trying to get busy to add a few more to my card box.  This card I decided to add some sparkle with metallic and glitter card stock.

This time when starting my card I started with my sentiment.  Using Versamark Ink I stamped it on Lustre Metallic Card Stock and then layered gold embossing powder over the top.  
I carefully cut the sentiment out and then chose the rest of my card supplies.  
My silhouette program has been acting up so I decided to make some vellum flowers by hand.  I used a circle punch and punched several circles and then spiral cut all of them starting from the inside and working my way to the middle.  
The flowers are quickly formed with some liquid glue and rolling them.  I began attaching all the items to my card front and then decided to add some color to my flowers and leaves by using a watercolor brush and watercolors.  
I really like the finished card with the soft touch of watercolors on the vellum against the spark of the glitter/metallic card stock.  
Thanks for stopping by!
Nicole

Hot Cocoa Wedding Favors

Hi again!  It’s Annie back with a cute favor idea for those winter or Christmastime weddings.  I was married (several years ago) just a week before Christmas because I love the season so much, but I tied the knot in the Caribbean so there were no fun winter favors anywhere!  Had I gotten married back…

Tiny Two Inch Treat or Favor Boxes

Years ago, a friend taught me how to make these–it’s one of those projects that seems difficult, until you make one all the way through, and then you realize how simple it really is!  These are especially easy to make in quantity, as the assembly line process works well with them.  Mine are embellished, but…

Subtle Shiny Snowflakes

Hi Friends!! kel here today 🙂 with some shiny, sparkly snowflake cards!I started with some BEAUTIFUL Stardream Metallic Cardstocks.
