Just add a little sparkle!

This is the favorite card I have made yet I think. It is five different colors of ink all using the same stamp layered in just a way to show them all off. I added tiny touches of glitter and a few embellishment flowers for dimension. I used an embossing folder to press the pattern into the pink sheet of card stock. This card is quintessentially girly and I love that about it. At some point I am sure I will need to make this one in other colors but for now it is just girly garden fun!

I have been working various items for my two small son's upcoming birthday party in the last couple weeks. I made their invitations a while back and yesterday I decorated the gift bags. I will work on the thank you notes and the cupcake toppers next. None of this is girly in anyway so maybe posting the card I did will help offset that. I will post one of their invites next. They were a longer process of design and execution and thankfully Rachelle came over to help me put them together. It was also one of the first time I designed on a timeline which was a new experience. I usually design when the mood hits me and I have a few ideas bouncing around in my head. This time I was not sure of what I wanted to do or what I wanted to see at the end. It all worked out well in the end but when I look at them I can still feel the frustrations involved.
