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

Hi 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.
