Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and it was my turn to choose the theme. I thought that since we are getting so close to the festive season some sparkle and shine would be fun!
Of course, you can always play along with the anything goes birthday option too.
My team mates and our party guest Julie have some wonderful ideas to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.
I was asked to make a 21st card and thought I'd reuse a design from quite a few years ago.
I've used silver embossing glitter on the stamped stars background, and vintage peacock embossing glitter on the sentiment, numbers and edge of the tag. I found some glitter cardstock in my stash to diecut the balloons from.
Here's a closer look at the sparkle.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
