It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is Sparkle!
Here’s my take on the AEI♥U Challenge Sparkle Challenge:
I created a birthday card for someone turning 50 – if there’s ever a time to bring out the glitter, 50 is it! I die cut the Numbered Balloons out of glitter paper and attached silver May Arts twine to them with tape on the back. I stamped the skyline from the Avery Elle Super set with Versamark ink, heat embossed with American Crafts silver glitter embossing powder, and cut it out with the corresponding die. I stamped the sentiment from Party Animal on the card base. I adhered the balloons with dimensional adhesive, taping down the strings. I placed the skyline over the balloon strings with dimensional adhesive as well.
There’s no limit to how you can interpret sparkle for this challenge!

Supplies:
After trying several combinations of Copic markers in shades of brown, I was happiest with the technique in which you start with the Colorless Blender and then add color. It gives a softer look to the colored image. I cut the image with its corresponding die. I heat embossed the sentiment from the same Furry Friends set on brown cardstock, then cutting it with the largest tag die from the Gift Tags set. The patterned paper is from an older Studio Calico pad.
