Sparkles

I am feeling a bit jaded at the moment and struggling to get cards made, pushing papers and stroking ribbons, but not coming up with much. Ellie's tonsils are up again (7th time this year and 4th time in 6 weeks!) and Beth is cutting her back molars, so not alot of sleep and it is showing grr!
I have made this card using the Secret Crafter sketch and the PBSC theme, Get Sparkly. It is not a bonfire theme, but it is for my bestest friend's birthday which is on Bonfire Night. There is sparkle on it though and uses the pink, brown and white colour theme from Secret Crafter.


I watercoloured the image, Light the Night in pink water pencils and added small pink flower and heart gems. The patterned paper is from DCWV Glitter matstack and my stash. I put the pink cardstock through mt CB using the D'vine Swirls folder. I added copper wire, pink gems and lovely brown glittered ribbon to finish. It does sparkle lots in the light.

Hopefully Christine will like it ... although she is more of a purple girl LOL!
