Happy Birthday
Hello bloggers! I embossed a piece of white card with the Tidal Sands embossing folder. I sprayed it with spray glue then glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. Next I cut the outer and middle die from the Stained Glass Tulips in white. I backed the middle die with a piece of black card. I cut the Tulips in black and glued a piece of clear acetate to the back of it. I turned it over and, working from the back, I added glue to the leaves first then sprinkled green glitter over it and tapped it off. I continued to add glitter to the design, doing the darkest areas first and working towards the lighter colours. I set it aside to dry over night then added it to the centre of the card. I cut the Happy Birthday die in black and glued it to a white shadow backing piece. I added it below the focal element with mounting foam and glue. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Another lovely all white card with a pop of colour, but this one is so different because of the use of different textures. Thanks for sharing.
