Today's card is for my daughter. She turns 10 years old, just a few days after Easter this year. She is a smart little girl and more than anything, she is happy. She makes everyone who knows her smile. While she doesn't share my passion for creating arts and crafts, she does enjoy the sparkle and/or color in everything created for her. This is my birthday card to Brook.. (I think it's the first one I've done in advance in a loooong time ::giggles:: )
I began with embossing a piece of white card stock. I cleaned up my corners by using my corner rounder. Cut a few pieces of card stock in strips, distressed the edges and layered them using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. Stamped Happy Birthday and added my decorative mesh.
I then stamped a dragonfly with stazon ink. Colored it with water soluble markers and moved the color with my water brush. Used my glitter brush in clear and added shimmer to my dragonfly. Gave it dimension by using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots underneath it.
Took some cute little Dazzler sequins and placed those on the page using my Helmar 450 Quick Dry again. I really love my 450 while it can be used for just about anything, I generally hoard it to use on non paper items. ::holds head down low:: Yes I hoard my 450.. It's my *special occasion* glue!
Well I hope you all enjoyed seeing my card for Brook. Thank you all for stopping by and hope the next time you are creating, you are creating with Helmar Adhesives!
