Birthday Wishes
Hello crafters! I just love the colours in this card. I created it by cutting the Art Deco Fan Background in Gold Mirror card. I glued a piece of clear acetate to the back of it. Starting with the darkest colours first, I added glue to the areas that I wanted to be Canadian Blue first. I poured on the Polished silk glitter then tapped it off. Next I filled in the areas with glue that I wanted to be Antique Rose, poured the glitter over it and then tapped it off. Lastly I added glue to the areas that were Brilliant Blue and then taped off the glitter. I set it aside to dry overnight then all the glitter shows up like this! I added a piece of white card to the back (so mounting foam doesn't show through.) I cut the Art Deco Birthday Wishes sentiment in white and glued it to the bottom corner of the card. The card was completed with white and gold mirror card mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Take care all Kitty.
Hello Sue, this card is gorgeous. I’m so glad you posted this as I wasn’t sure if it was paper pieced or not. I love all the art deco dies recently released but still deciding which ones to order.

A beautiful card. I treated myself to these two dies with birthday money, so will have to rummage and see what polished silk glitters I have stashed away.
