Silver Sparkle

My Sparkle card was inspired by two challenges: Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge #259 and Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #104.

The focal panel was made by die cutting red cardstock and foiled cardstock with scallops. The foiled cardstock was purchased with a wavy design already embedded but the red cardstock was embossed with a diagonal stripe. The sentiment, Sparkle, was die cut from the silver foil and adhered to the red. The stars were punched and adhered. The red panel was adhered to the foiled die cut panel.

Using a white card base, a piece of silver foil was adhered to the card front. A piece of wet watercolor paper was colored using refill ink. Once dry it was trimmed to size and adhered to blue cardstock, then adhered to red cardstock. A piece of wired silver ribbon was tied around and it was all adhered to the card base.

A piece of craft foam was adhered to the back of the focal panels and adhered to the card base. The inside of the card was decorated with three punched stars.
