A 21st Birthday Card

Hi!

One of my nieces turned 21 late last year.  I haven't shown you the card I made for her yet!

What girl doesn't like a bit of bling, so I teamed the retired stamp set Cheers To You with some of the Silver Glitter paper.

I used some Crystal Effects on the cocktail glasses to make it look like there was a cocktail in the glass.

I used some more of the Hostess DSP Cheerful Treat on the inside.

Stamps: Cheers To You (retired), Happiest Birthday Wishes (hostess)
Ink: Melon Mambo
DSP/Cardstock: Cheerful Treat (hostess), Silver Glitter Paper, Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Whisper White
Other: Crystal Effects, Dimensionals, Organza Ribbon

Bye for now,

Tina

Art With Heart Celebrations Blog Hop

Hi!

Welcome back to another Art With Heart Blog Hop. The theme for this blog hop is Celebrations. You may have just come from Ros Davidson's blog, but if you've started here that's OK - just keep going until you get back to where you started. There are 11 stops along the way.

The Art With Heart team is led by Claire Daly and it is a very talented team that I feel privileged to be a part of. Claire was recently announced as the Number 1 Demonstrator in Australia, and many other of the Art With Heart team also won awards. It's great to be a part of such a fantastic team.

My projects this month were made with my eldest niece in mind. She turns 21 in June, so I decided to make her a card. She decided to celebrate her birthday with a cocktail party and the invitation had a disco ball on in, so I decided to bling the card to the max!



Just a little bit of glitter!



I cut a Top Note out of Jac paper to adhere the glitter to the background. The glitter in the champagne flutes was adhered using Tombow glue.

I also decided to make a simpler version of the same basic layout.



This time I used double sided tape to adhere the glitter around the edge of the black panel. Easy!



Each layer in both cards was raised on dimensionals.

I also decided to make a gift card holder that matched the cards. More bling!



Here it is opened:



And here's the tag you write on:



I made these cards over a week ago and I'm still finding glitter everywhere! I had lots of fun making them though. Thanks to Robyn for loaning me her stamp to play with - much appreciated!
