Bluebell Birthday

Hi!  Today's card was made for my workmate who is turning 21 in a week!  21!  I can hardly remember that far back :)

Anyway, I was going to make a number card, but I couldn't get it to work out, so I turned to some challenges for inspiration.  I used the shaker card theme at Just Us Girls, the stars theme at Simon Says Stamp and the photo inspiration at Inspired by all the Little Things to come up with this card.

I die-cut a circle in a panel of white cardstock and adhered a sheet of acetate over the back.  I then laid foam tape all around the back before dropping in a whole lot of sequins.  I closed the back with a sheet of patterned paper with a wide kraft stripe.  I wanted to use tulips as the flowers, but I don't have a single tulip stamp!  Something that needs rectifying :)  The flowers were colored with Copics and die-cut.

Finally I finished with the star garland.  Both the garlands and the flowers were liberally painted with clear Wink of Stella, so it has a lovely shimmer in real life.

Thanks for visiting.
