Thinking Of You

I thought I posted this card earlier in the year, but obviously I didn't.  This is another card using Elizabeth Crafts. It's very hard to get a good picture of this technique to show off the glitter, but believe me, it's there and is gorgeous!  This is the same technique as the bear I made for Valentine's day, but I'll repeat the steps of how I did it again.

I used white cardstock for the card base and layered it with a striped pink and green pattern paper.  The flower is made with a peel off sticker - you peel off the sticker and place it on double-sided adhesive paper.  The outline of the flower looks like unfilled stained glass (picture just the black outline on the flower).

Next, you fill the sticker with a special microfine glitter, rubbing the glitter into the adhesive so it's nice and smooth.  The flower is colored with Copics.  I rounded the corners of the flower image, placed it on white cardstock and popped it up with foam tape. 

I stamped the sentiment down the side for something a little different and added the ribbon around the flower image.
