Hi there,
I'm here today to share a card with you using the Sparkle N Sprinkle You're my Hero Set 946.
To begin with I stamped both the sentiment and the image on blue cardstock with Versamark and then heat embossed with White Detail. I kept everything very simple on this card, just regular cutting of the image and also cutting up the sentiment.
1/2" Tear-ific Tape was then repeatedly layered diagonally to a piece of 5 1/4" x 4" piece of white cardstock. After trimming the edges of the card the protective backing from the tape was removed and Gypsy Red Microfine Glitter was burnished into the tape using my finger tool.
This piece was layered to a grey card base and the image was attached with 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and the sentiment was staggered on the front with mounting tape. The little dog tag stickers were added to the bottom right corner to finish of my card.
Below is a list of the products used on my card today. You can use my designer code at check out, ShonaDT10, to receive an extra 10% off anything over at the Sparkle N Sprinkle store.

This is a great image! I like the white embossing on the blue. Love the sparkly stripes too. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and a wonderful image for a soldier design. I love the striped glittery background which shows off the blue panel with the white embossed image perfectly.

Beautifully done with the white EP and glittery background, it's something that is meaningful to families world-wide who only wish their loved ones serving overseas could come home safely.
