Seize the Birthday: Sparkle and Shine


Happy Thursday! Seize the Birthday wants to bring some Sparkle and Shine to your day with our new challenge! My card adds shine with foil patterned paper, and sparkle with embossing powder: 


Shine is never easy to photograph! And my laptop is in for service, so my photo editing is a bit curtailed as well. You can still see the gold shine from the patterned paper as well as the brushed gold mat. For the sentiment, I used black sparkle embossing powder.  I cut my layers with a new set of mini-slimline dies - thank you, Carol


Lots of sparkle and shine over on the STB blog, from my teammates and our current surprise party guest, Vicky! I hope you'll join us. 

Supplies: Recollections black cardstock, My Mind's Eye On Trend 2 patterned paper, Studio Katia It's Your Birthday stamp, Versafine onyx black ink, Ranger black sparkle embossing powder, Photoplay stitched frames dies

Pin It Now!

I adore anything with shine and then hate it when I try to photograph it. Haha. Well done for the struggle! I absolutely love the polka dots and the added embossed sentiment.

Great idea to use the design paper and put on a sparkly message.

I love how the designer paper really makes the card so lovely while still keeping it clean. Gorgeous shine, though. Love the addition of the sparkle with the ep (isn't black ep a pain to work with?? even though it looks so awesome!!) Absolutely gorgeous card, Lindsey!
