The Twisted Sister Challenge for the week is to make a sparkly, glittery birthday card with no pink in it. This challenge was issued by Marleygo and not Tater, surprisingly.
This is actually way more sparkly and glittery than it shows in my picture. I used glittered cardstock for the circle in the middle and the happy birthday tag and I added Stickles to the middle of my rose and all the roses on the dp plus some of the fronds.
This lovely Velvet Laptop sleeve from Cox & Cox was my inspiration:
PT - 39 - with this 39 and the 90 from earlier today, I should certainly have worked off the Mississippi Mud cake I had last night - what do you think?
Thanks to Joan's Gardens for extra inspiration on this card - I got the Webster's Pages and many of the punches I used from Joan's wonderful and magical on-line store.

Would you just look at this beauty sitting next to me in the gallery! I love it. I did not notice the sparkle in the circle until I read your deets, now I see it. The dp is gorgeous and the rose - amazing! What a beautiful card Nancy.

Beautiful card - the paper is wonderful and the rose just adds that extra zing! Is this flower made from a punch - and if so, which one? Thanks for sharing.

A further comment - I really like the card design too, with the blackbrads and outer circle and also the red backing - quite an intricate card - very nice.
