I actually planned to make a birthday card for my brother Martin since it’s his birthday tomorrow but my pre-order arrived yesterday and I was drawn in by this gorgeous sentiment from Add a Little Glitz and I just had to play with it! I stamped it in versamark and heat embossed in gold. So beautiful.

I also couldn’t resist using the Year of Cheer Specialty DSP and matted that with gold foil before putting it onto a thick whisper white cardbase. I left a good sized border on the card base – the large number of layers seemed to demand it. The DSP is 3/4 inch smaller than the card base with the foil 1/8 inch larger than the DSP. I cut out a piece of foil from the middle of that mat to use as a border for my sentiment and popped that up with dimensionals.
