Sparkling Birthday!

Posted by Jennifer

Happy New Year!

For starters, I want to wish you all a very Healthy and Prosperous 2009!

I'm starting 2009 with a Sparkling Birthday card I made using a new sentiment stamp from DRS Designs. Coincidentally, this fits this week's Ways To Use It Challenge (WT199) on Splitcoast--to use Silver!

This sentiment is perfect for the last DRS Designs Blog Challenge-Bling! There's still time to give that challenge a try if you haven't yet, and while your at it, head on over to the DRS Designs Website and order yourself a basket full of their New Stamps!

I used a blue and silver color combo with this card as I wanted to resemble the sparkle in the sentiment. To enhance this effect, I also used Silver Stickles on the stars and enhanced my focal point by cutting out the middle star in the Double Swirl Star image to use as an embellishment. Silver paper, silver brads, shiny ribbon, a decorative border punch, and the Interlocking star Background also add to this design!
