A beautiful Autumn day here today..I hope it is the same with you....and that you are all well.
You may need your sunglasses for today's card because it is literally...SPARKLE!
The background is sparkle texture paste through Uniko's broken line stencil...done in two colours and rotated 90 degrees. I die cut the 40 from some lovely no shed glitter card that matched the jade paste perfectly and also cut it twice from plain card and mounted it up to five depth. It also sits on 3D foam on the card. A final addition of purple sequins and some little punched stars ....ta -daa....
It didn't turn out quite like the picture in my mind...but then nothing generally does. I'm hoping the recipient likes it!.....Oh to be 40 again but know what I know now!
Another view just to help you see the sparkle more.
Must dash...lots to do as usual. 'Thank you' so much for popping in and if you have left me a comment...another 'Thank you'...so very much appreciated as I know how time is precious to us all.
Hope you all have a good rest of the week...take care..
Hugs

I LOVE all the sparkle...gorgeous card!!!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn’t love a bit of sparkle. I loved being in my forties and now forty seems sooooo young ;).
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how it looked in your mind but it couldn't have been any better than this. Fantastic use of that stencil (which like the comment above I will need to buy now!) and pictures never show off the full effect of the sparkle
