Birthday Shine and Sparkle

I rarely have a card with so much bling and sparkle, but I couldn’t resist using this reverse foiled panel to create a bold and bright birthday card. 

I had a free morning last week, and pulled out my foiling machine to create some backgrounds. This card uses Spellbinders’ Starburst hot foil plate. I made a couple of panels, one with gold foil and one with Rainbow Stripes foil. You’ll see those panels eventually, but when I pulled the foil off the Rainbow Stripes panel, I immediately pulled out my Solid Hot Foil Plate from Pinkfresh Studio which produced this panel which I love. 

The sentiment was also reversed foiled some time ago and die cut with Pinkfresh Studio’s Brushed Sentiments that came with a fabulous prize I won a year and a half ago. I don’t often use large and bold sentiments, but this card definitely called for one. I also added some Honey Bee Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers to each of the starbursts. 

I’m sending this one off to a new-to-me challenge, Word Power. It’s a challenge to showcase sentiments as a focal point on a card. It’s also going to Colorful Options where Rainbow is always welcomed. It’s another one for Addicted to Stamps and More: Birthdays. And, finally, it’s off to NBUS–it’s the Starburst’s debut on a card.
