Sparkle wishes

Sprinkle/Sparkle
I always think I don't do a lot of sparkle, but then I look back on my work and think ... well, actually I do.  This is a little more sparkly than usual, but he is such a cute mouse and he deserves it!

I stamped the dark blue card and heat embossed it silver, then dry embossed a frame around it.  The mouse is coloured with Reno pens, then sprinkled with fine glitter; the balloon is coloured and sprinkled with bold glitter.  The diecut circle edge is dipped in versamark ink and embossed, with just some fine sprinkles of embossing powder to add a party feeling.  When dry I layered them over the diecut image for 3D effect.  Self adhesive glittery ribbon strips just to complete the picture and anchor it.
