For the background I gold embossed the image watercolored using three colors. Rubbed perfect pearls bronze over it. Layered it on black. Stamped the marquee and watercolored. Used sparkle brush over it all. W is for watercolor. No white, just watercolor.
Went to John R.

This is fabulous Kathy! This is a stamp set that I have on my wish list. I really like what you've done here. I keep seeing people mention perfect pearls, I'm going to have to research what those are. I really like all the sparkle and how you have colored the image. Great job!

What a fun, celebratory birthday card! I love the colors you used and all the sparkle. Your watercolor background is the perfect backdrop for this gorgeous marquee you painted and glittered up so beautifully. I love it! ~Karen.

Wow! That is an eye catching markee! I love the glitter and shine. So perfect for this stamp. I didn't think I needed it, but you have me rethinking my decision.

The pastel colors really gives this card a vintage ambiance! I assume that is a gold power you used on this. The gold is stunning! Some folks have problems making their gold shie very much. Superb!
