Sparkle and Shine!

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and JoAnn wants us to make a shaped card, anything other than a standard A2 rectangle.

You can also join in with our anything goes birthday theme too.


Our party guest Izzy and my team mates have some wonderful inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.

I bought this confetti borders stamp well over a year ago and finally used it for this card!
I thought it suited a square shape and was inspired by a card on The Ton's website here.
Just love the gold and black and lusciuos sparkle!

I'm linking up to these challenges:


NBUS, Darnell's challenge for unused goodies!

Supplies:

Poppy Stamps happy birthday poe script die; glittery gold fun foam ( a freebie with an online order); unbranded star flourish die (I cut off the flourish).

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
