One thing I know…I love the look of glitter, with all the sparkle and sheen, but I don’t like the shedding! That’s where glitter cardstock comes in! All of the elegance, and none of the mess!
For my Mother’s Day card today, I am using two glitter cardstocks: Gold Glitter Mirrisparkle and Glitter Pink Sapphire Mirrisparkle. I am also using some Prima flowers, a piece of patterned paper, and a cover plate die cut from Reverse Confetti.
The first step, after cutting the die, was to adhere the cover plate to the trimmed patterned paper, making sure my little bird could be seen. A “cover plate” is the full A2 size, and will cover the front of a cardstock base. You can see the base, cut and already scored, under the panel. I have used Basis White #110 for the base this time. It’s an excellent, heavy cardstock that will hold the shape of the card.
Just enough sparkle and glitz for my bird-loving, green thumb mother-in-law! Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to follow us on Instagram for all the sparkly goodness this month!
Oh, Niki! Gorgeously colored spring time creation with fantastic textures and sparkle! That background die is especially marvelous! Thank you for visiting my blog today and leaving a sweet comment, so I could return the visit and see this Beauty! hugs, de
Hi Donna! I haven't visited your blog in awhile, and should get over there! I made this card! 🙂
