Felicity's Card

Welcome, and a blessed Christmas to all my visitors.  

It is supposed to be summer here in the Antipodes, but at the moment it is not sunny, rather we are due the remnants of a tropical cyclone and it is warm, humid and dull - just when I wanted sunshine to photograph the sparkle on this card!! 


The image is a bride digi from Bugaboo Stamps, but I wanted a 'girly' image for a 2 year old, so trimmed off the veil and train after printing.


The image was coloured with chalks and mounted, using foam dots to give some dimension, onto a Prima Fairy Flora dp cut with the Floral oval die from Spellbinders.


A bow was added for interest, and rhinestones for some sparkle - but that did not work for me...



Mounted the panel onto blue card stock after trying green.
Stamped and embossed the sentiment using silver hologram ep, 
still not happy....

Inspiration struck and out came the glue pen and the glitter.... and now the card, my studio and I are very sparkly, and the card has two fancy borders. 


...and finally the sun poked out for a few seconds and I got a quick photo... please excuse the shadow but I was rushing before the sun hid behind the clouds again.

I am linking this to:

Thanks for visiting - may your day be blessed.

Any comment you may leave is appreciated, 
and the encouragement is so very welcome.

    what an adorable card Maxine, All that glitter is fabulous. Love how you adapted the image. It is perfect for a little girl. We too are suffering with the sun not shining. I managed to get some light to photograph a card today... not sunlight though! A blessed Christmas to you and your family Maxine.

    Oh this is precious Maxine! I know how hard it is to capture sparkle in the dim light! Hard to believe how warm it is for you while we are in the dead of winter here! Sending hugs and best wishes for a blessed new year!!!
