A few weeks ago the first of the 18th birthdays happened … and it was the lovely Kaspa!
Here is the card I made for her… the brief was green and flowers … so it ended up being pink, purple and green … with tons of sparkle!
I did the whole emboss over the watercolour technique, but this time silver rather than gold. I used the same Altenew as I have used previously and I really love how this looked. I used a mix of distress inks and SU inks for the colouring.
Then I took the same colours and used them through the layered stencil to create a background I knew would work colour wise. I then grabbed the shimmer vellum and cut the stitched circle and also a plain circle from white to give the floral element something to rest on.
I used the same vellum for the mat but decided to turn it to the Matt side as I knew that it was getting very sparkly as I’d decided to add in the silver glimmer die cuts behind the floral piece and also die cut the 18 from the same silver glimmer.
I used Biggest Wish stamps and my stamp positioner to add the distress ink in both the pink and the purple to give a two tone effect to the words.
I used foam to raise up the circle, floral element and the sentiment but kept the other elements flat.
I didn’t add any gems or pearls … there really is enough sparkle already with the embossing and the shimmer vellum and the sparkly glimmer paper elements!
Really enjoyed making this… so lovely to make cards for these girls birthdays. So nice my princess has such good friends.
Happy crafting!
