Today we are helping our dear
sweet Blend,

Birthdays of her  two Sweet Little Princesses

Happy Birthday Little Princesses

I am so happy to join this r celebration

and talented line-up of friends

with this fantastically colorful 

and cheery

"It's a Rainbow Party"

Blog Hop!

We were all given this image of a 

Slew of Rainbows and Festive Birthday Fun

to get our creative MOJO flowing.

How can you not want to create 

when you see this???

I actually had a ton of ideas

rush through my mind

and even waited until the last

minute to make my project.

I finally decided on

some Glittery Rosettes
and Fun Rainbow colored buttons.

Here is my Card for Candace's Little Girls

I started with white card stock for the base.

Then I cut a few strips (1"x12") out of different colors 

of card stock (solid and Glitter Couture by Core'dinations).

The star borders were created from the strips by using

a fun ekSuccess American Girl Star Border Punch. 
 To make adhering them

to the card more easy, I ran them through my

Xyron 1/2" Sticker Maker.

The rosettes were created by 

scoring my 12" strips every 1/4"

on my Scorpal.

I adhered some buttons on the center of each rosette with my glue gun.

For the sentiment: I used a stamp from my own Unity Grab Bag

and inked it with Tim Holtz - Black Soot onto white cardstock.

I used a 2" circle punch to cut around the sentiment.

I traced around the perimeter of the circle using my Zip Glue Pen

then in a circular wheel motion, ran the edge

of the circle through some

into Martha Stewart Glitter (tourmaline/pink).

The misting was done using my handmade glimmer mist in a Mini Mister

Handmade Glimmer Mist

2 parts water

1 part Perfect Pearls (liquid)

2 drops Vermillion re-inker, 

3-4 drops FolkArt Acrylic paint (pink)

I cut a second circle to add behind the sentiment.  

I adhered them together with some 3D foam square adhesive.  

I raised both up from the card using another layer of foam squares.

I adhered more buttons around the 

circular sentiment

in a rainbow color pattern using some

Glue Dots.

For the inside of the card

I used all left over coordinating

colors of card stock from my stash

and randomly placed them

until I liked how it looked.
