I made this for the MFTWSC15 and WT318 -people challenges, but most especially, my daugter's 18th birthday!! I'm trying not to cry, time slips so quickly through our fingers!
My daughter gives many of the My Favorite Things cards I make to her friends for their birthdays and gets lots of attention for it, so I wanted her card to be extra special, and tried to pull out all the stops! First I embossed the image with sparkly black and colored with water soluable oils and Tombows (the Tombows because I wanted a little more color) then I sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl. I embossed the Echo Park and October Afternoon papers with embossing folders, the grass is made with MFT large scallop dies. It was funny because I cut the back scalloped piece to fit the card and then ran it through the crimper, making it a half inch too short!! Note to self, crimp and the cut!! My sentiment is computer generated on spellbinders dies, and the felt sun and little flowers are also MFT dies. The little flower centers are button brads that I purchased at Paper Zone, I think they're by Memory Makers. I added glitter to the flowers and Diamond Glaze to the swirl embossed background to give more sparkle! Also, lots of dimensional tape gave it's life for this project!!
Hope I covered it all! LG & TFL!!
