Welcome,
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog

I made this card some time ago, and have only just now got around to blogging it - thus I cannot tell you in detail the materials I used.... sorry.
The embossing folder is the Altenew 3D folder 'Gem'. I ran an ink pad over the raised edges, and the rest of the colour was added using mica based sprays

The cup cake was a digi image I had printed three copies of. I water coloured this one and fussy cut it, adding the gems and some WoS to the icing. It was mounted on foam dots.
The sentiment stamp was a magazine freebie from years ago, stamped in blue and clear embossed.

When I mounted the focal panel, I added some dark blue card under opposing corners, and some more gems - some old flat back adhesive rhinestones

In the oabove photo you can just see some of the sparkle this card has, and the dimension in mounting of the cupcake and sentiment banner

This inside was finished with some deep blue sparkle scotch tape.

Great texture on the background, Maxine. A lovely birthday card, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI also inform you that I added a video on my blog on how to use a komboloi. It is one of the most typical symbols of Greece’s easy-going mentality. If you want, come to watch it. Kisses!
Love that new embossing folder! It shows up beautifully the way you have defined it and to support your cupcake. CarolG
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool and fun card Maxine! I thought that your background was a "cracked glass" technique background! But then I read your post and it wasn't. That embossing folder sure fooled me at first. LOL Love your fun cupcake too. Such a fun birthday card! Hugs, Brenda

What a fab background that embossing folder has made. Mind you I think the way you treated it with the ink pad and the sprays has a lot to do with how good it looks.
ReplyDeleteGreat cupcake, with a jolly good idea using gems to decorate it with.
Blessings, Neet xx
