A Big Birthday Wish for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone and happy Saturday!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog and I have a project to share with you featuring the new A Big Birthday Wish 931 stamp set. I'm very sad to say this will be my last post with Sparkle N Sprinkle. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last year using the amazing glitters, embossing powders and so many other items SNS carries. Though I'm stepping away, I will forever be one of SNS's biggest fans (and customer)!!

The papers I used to make the cards are from Lemoncraft, available in my ETSY store HERE.

For the base of the card, I used Tonic Verso Gothic Border Square dies. The bottom layer was cut with Super-Adhesive Sheets and then covered with Ballerina glitter. Isn't the pink sparkle pretty :)

The next layer is a Tonic Layering Basics Sunray Venus die, followed by a Prima Doily die cut with a Super-Adhesive Sheets and covered with Cloud Nine glitter. The next layer is a Tonic Simplicity Verso Love Arch Square die.

After dusting vellum with a Anti Static Bag, I used a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the birthday sentiment with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and then heat embossed it with Black Detail. Happy was heat embossed with White Detail.

The butterfly from the Violets for You stamp set was stamped on vellum and heat embossed with Black Detail. I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the back of the butterfly and then used a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen on the front for sparkle.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

A Sizzix Box die was used to create the box, using Tear-ific Tape ¼ and Tear-ific Tape 3/4” to secure it together. I cut it in heavyweight cardstock and then covered the panels with colored cardstock, using Tear-ific Tape 3/4” to adhere the paper to the box. The ribbons are from DL.ART.

On the top panel, I used Brushable Glue and then covered it with Unicorn glitter. I embossed a strip of paper with Venus Violet embossing powder and added that to the edge.

For the rainbow, I applied a Super-Adhesive Sheets to cardstock and used a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval, securing all of the dies together to get each ray of the rainbow. I then tried to say close to the true colors of the rainbow (ROYGBIV). I used the following glitters, from top to bottom: Gypsy Red, Tangerine, Daisy, Irish Isle, Mermaid, Unicorn and Purple Fig. I then used a Glitter Brush to remove any excess glitter.

I just love this sweet unicorn :) After dusting a piece of cardstock with an Anti Static Bag, she was stamped using a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and then heat embossed with Black Detail. She was colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and then I used a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen to add sparkle to her hair and the cloud.
