New Challenge #113 at Glitter N Sparkle

Here is my Second post for today.
and I'm sorry for the slight delay in posting.
My lovely little Step-Daughter,
(who comes and stops at the weekends),
has unfortunately come down with 
Chicken Pox.
Poor lil' girl is not very well at all.
All shivery but burning up,
headaches and really bad swollen throat
(poor mite has it in her mouth).

So this weeks project has been rather a CAS
moment.

                         Frame -          Pastel Blue

                                           

Once finished I cut one of the Images
to fit the size of the Base Card
The other one I Diecut out the Frame
using the 4.2cm and the 5.4cm Circle Dies
(Sizzix).
To make the Frame sparkle I added
Iridescent Ice Blue Glitter
(Glitter Magic)

Using the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder
(Stampin' Up!)
I embossed the front of the Card.
Then Lightly dusted the Snowflakes with
Light Blue Pastel Chalks
(Dovecraft).
Then accented them with a dusting of 
Holographic Silver Glitter
(Glitter Magic).

For the Sentiment I used

Happy Birthday Tag Digi Stamp

from Jellypark

(one of our sponsors)

To begin with I Precut White Box Shape
and a 12.5cm Square White Card

(both in stash)
Then I used some Pink Floral Paper 
(stash)
which I cut out the Box shape 
and glued it on,
and cut a 11.5 x 4.5cm Rectangle
for the Card.
Using White DC Paper
I used a Heart + Flower Embossing Folder
(think it came free with a magazine)
and cut it down to an 
11.5 x 7 cm Rectangle.
To show the light and shade of the 
Embossing I used 
Pastel Dusky Pink Decorative Chalk
(Dovecraft).
Then covered the join with a
White Satin Ribbon with 
Sparkling Silver Hearts on
(Boyes Haberdashery).

Then I printed off the Tag Image
twice on White DC Paper

and coloured it in

using my Promarker Pens

                         Hearts -      Dusky Pink

                         Edge -         Blossom

                                            (Gel Pen)

                                           

Once finished I cut them out and 
punched out the hole for the 
5mm Silver Ribbon to go through .
For the card I just placed it through 
and decoupaged in place,
and I tied the other
on the Box.
