For this card, I gathered up a piece of teal cardstock, some paper scraps, a stamped cupcake from a previous project colored with Zig writers and Stickles Glitter Adhesive {I know, I know, no glitter is allowed for OWH cards - but this is only for screen viewers ONLY : ) }. The background is made from a piece of leftover craft fun foam run through my cuttlebug. So fun! I rubbed some platinum pearlescent over the embossing to bring out the detail. So quick and easy and the result is very IM"PRESS"IVE.
Aren't I clever with words?
I will be spending the weekend with friends and family and getting in some quality artsy-craftsy time with a pile of things waiting to be artfully upcycled. What projects are you working on this 3-day weekend?
Have a Fun and Safe 4th of July Holiday everyone!!! Thanks for supporting Operation Write Home and all of our men & women in uniform : ) SMb

You know, sometimes you just have to have to make those cards with the stickles. I totally understand. Stickles are my vice. No matter how many glitterless cards I make for the troops, I just have to make some WITH sometimes too. I have never played with that foamy stuff. I will have to give it a try some time. Thanks for sharing your great b-day card!
I love the card and the Pearlescence. I had to use stickles on a card, but covered it with Paper Glaze so it wouldn't rub off.
Love your card! I love the embossed background and how you colored it to really make it pop. Happy 4th of July!
how fun! I've never used craft foam before and I am definately missing out :) What a great card. Thanks for sharing
