I'm here today with a card for and a reminder of the November CAS Mix Up Challenge! It's a fun one - Glitter! We could all use a little sparkle as winter approaches right?!
For my card I used stamping, clear glitter brush, markers, die cuts and Glossy Accents.
A birthday isn't complete without balloons right?! I die cut the balloons out of Bristol Smoothe Surface paper. I colored around the edges of one balloon at a time with a colored marker and blended the color over each balloon with my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush. I did the same with the strings. I used foam dots to layer the balloons over the flat bottom circle die. Then I added Glossy accents over the balloons for more sparkle and let it dry.
Here's a close up so you can see the glitter better (so hard to photograph all that shine!)
You have until 11/25 to link up your cards - check out all the details on the CAS Mix Up challenge blog here!
