A sparkling wish

Today I had a play with Party Wishes stamp set, which is available in the 2016 Occasions Catalogue.

I love how this set combines images and sentiments, so there is no need to use more than one set unless you want to.

Although it is not clear in the picture I added a touch of sparkle to the "make a wish" sentiment and also on the top of the cupcake.

Using the wink of stella glitter brush makes adding that special touch easy. Take a look at this video to see just how easy it is to use.

Celebrate so many things - Freshly Made Sketches #200

Sometimes it is great to have some cards on hand that can be used for many purposes. This card fits that bill perfectly. The term "celebrate" can be used for birthdays, engagements, graduation, work promotion, and I'm sure the list can go on and on.

While making this card I learnt a valuable lesson. The white craft ink on wood elements takes much longer to dry than I expect.

Luckily there was an easy fix. Simply cut another piece of black card stock and glue it on top.

Today's card was made for the Freshly Made Sketches #200 challenge. 200 sketches, can you believe that! Such a huge number.

 

 

Tip of the day: Heat tool on number 1, makes drying time faster.

Yay for Friday! Hope that everyone has had a great week.

I decided that I needed to get a start on Christmas cards. Today I played with Winter Frost DSP which was in the holiday cataloge. I love the way it looks when you add a bit of silver.  Lucky for me I brought some silver ribbon when I placed the order for Winter Frost.
