Sparkly Birthday card / Tarjeta de Cumpleanos Brillante

DSCN5177

I made this card for my Mother-in-Law’s birthday (so, since she hasn’t seen it yet—Happy Birthday, Sarita!).  I love the sparkles that the shimmer paint adds to the sentiment and the flower edges.

The flower was easy to make using the scallop edge circle punch. 

  1. Punch out five scallop circles.
  2. Spray each of them with water.
  3. Crinkle up each scallop. 
  4. Unfold them and layer them one on top of the other.
  5. Punch in the center with the Crop-a-dile and place a brad through all five layers.
  6. Starting with the top layer, scrunch each layer back up (the top layer is scrunched tightly, then the others are a little looser).
  7. When all layers are scrunched (that’s the technical term, right?), unfold them and finesse them to get the look you want.
  8. Let the flower dry, then adhere to project.

I also added shimmer paint to the flower petals for a little extra shine.
