SPARKLE N SPRINKLE'S APRIL 1ST REVEAL

Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle

 April Reveal Blog Hop!

Today I am sharing a card that I made using both the Corner Garden Set 842 and the Corner Garden Digi Bundle (Digi842FS).  I don't use digis often, but there were some lovely background papers in this particular bundle and so I decided to give it another try - and I'm glad I did! I used the stamped version of the set for the little butterflies and the sentiment.

So I began by printing out the "framed" digi on white cardstock from the Corner Garden Bundle Set #842, rotating it at 43 degrees.

Next I die cut the piece using the border of the Spellbinders Wedding Collection die. I ran off the orange version of the watercolor background paper. The card front was backed with a piece of Super Adhesive Sheet and was layered on top of the watercolor piece. Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter was applied to the sticky surface around the border.

The center was cut with a die from the same set.

I decided to put the blue background behind the card front, with a small border. A smaller circle (Spellbinders Standard Circles) was cut from a piece of the orange paper which had been attached to a piece of scrap cardstock with Super Adhesive Sheet, making it more rigid. The sentiment was then stamped in Versamark and then heat embossed in Black Detail.

The butterflies were also done this way by taping the paper to scrap cardstock and then stamping them in Versamark and heat embossing with Black Detail.

They were covered with Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste and were set to dry before being fussy cut.

The sentiment and the butterflies were attached to the card with Mounting Tape and a wired rainbow bow, made with my Craft-Dee BowZ, was wrapped around the top of the card before it was layered to a black card base. This finished off my card for today.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:
Craft-Dee Bowz: April 2017 Challenge

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Try it on Tuesday: Botanical 28th March

Hope you've enjoyed your visit today. I got a little carried away with this digi bundle and in fact made three entirely different cards, which I will be sharing with you throughout the month of April. Hope you'll pop back to see what I did! Now you need to pop on over to our extremely talented Eret's blog to see what gorgeous creation she made. Remember to comment on all the designers' blogs, you definitely want to be in a chance to win this awesome digi bundle along with all the other sets!!

Hugs,

Shona
