A Birthday for a special Girl

Items used in this design:
Cuttlebug folder from the  Plum Blossom set
Quickutz : Teddy Bear (see below for technique)
QK Nesting Stars(set of 5)
QK Nesting Scalloped Ovals (set of 3)
QK Banana Split Alphabet
Jones Tones Glitter


The bear was cut out in Quickutz double sided adhesive paper.   I placed all the body parts down with the protective top layer still on the sticky paper.   To shade, lift the parts of the paper from the areas to be the darkest first.   Folding back each part until all areas are ready.  Sprinkle on the dark pink glitter.  Remove the rest of the paper and sprinkle the pale pink glitter.   Tip of the excess glitter as you go. The paws, inner ears and nose are placed and coloured separatedly or alternatively you could just use glue in the same manner.    The letters and number have a light coat of Kindyglitz in Chrystalina.  This product is Aussie made so may not be available readily in other countries but I believe it is similar to Tim Holtz Stickles.

I made this card for a very special girl.   All the parts are made with the Epic Six cutting & embossing machine.   All the Dies used are from Quickutz.   A great place to buy from is Scrapbuggy .   This is a US shop but has international flat rate shipping of $15.     Stay tuned for a review on both the Epic and Scrapbuggy.    

If anyone wants anymore information please feel free to ask.

TIP:  When you've finished all colours, flick back of card several times with the right side facing down over a piece of paper.   This will remove any stubborn loose glitter.   If you have used more than one colour, the excess will be multi coloured.   I have a spare jar that all the excess multi coloured glitter goes into.   This can be used later and looks great on black.
