Shimmer and shine

 

Welcome

Today's card uses an embossing folder that I have had for quite some time, but don't think I have ever used it! It is by Sizzix, but does not have a name

I applied Versamark to the butterflies before running it through my cuttlebug, and then quickly added some sparkly embossing powder.

I then used a wash of diluted peacock feather DI to colour the background. I did not think it was 'sparkly' enough so went over the butterflies with 'KindyGlitz"

I found the happy birthday message in one of my scrap boxes, so split the words and attached to the blank area.

I used black for the card base, and it looks much more 'glittery' in real life - I should have photographed it instead of scanning.
