Dimensions:

* 3 1/8"x 3 1/8" In Color Glimmer Paper
* 3" x 3" DSP
How to:
*Cut all of your card stock and DSP as stated in the dimensions
* Fold your card base in half at 4.25"
*Using blending brushes (or daubers) pick up some color from your ink pad and blend into the center of one of the firework-like images
* Repeat that step with the other two colors, eventually filling in all of the images, but leaving white spaces all around
* Adhere the newly blended DSP piece to the glimmer paper (use plenty of adhesive, as the glimmer paper is rough)
* Adhere this to the black mat
* Fold your card base in half at 4.25"

* Adhere the newly blended DSP piece to the glimmer paper (use plenty of adhesive, as the glimmer paper is rough)
* Adhere this to the black mat
* Place dimensionals onto the back and set aside
* Stamp your sentiment (I used "Woo Hoo!") in StazOn Balck at the bottom of you card base. If you need help with spacing, set the DSP piece onto the card, then line up your stamps
* Once stamped, adhere the DSP piece to the card base by taking the backs off the dimensionals
* Add Opal Rounds to the center of 3 of the firework-like images
* Stamp the inside as you see fit, I used two sentiments, "to another year" and "around the sun"

Thanks for joining me and I hope that you will be back next week!
I recently found your You Tube channel as I was looking for cards made with the Pretty Perennials stamp set, then came to your blog. Reading your profile information, I was so very shocked to find that you're a "recent widow and mother of four"! :'( Locating the post where you tell of this, I just wanted to express my sincere condolences...from one SU demonstrator to another (only hobby for me). I cannot imagine the heartache and devastation!! Anyhow, I just wanted you to know that someone cares and said a prayer for your family. <3
ReplyDeleteI found your YT video about your husband, after leaving my comment above. (leaving another comment here, since I can't on YT) My heart hurts for you and your kids. You are so brave! I wish the best for you all. Hugs & prayers from WI <3
