Just in case the unthinkable should happen, I'd like to show a card made for my sister whose birthday was earlier this month.
The pretty glittered peacock feather was another result from when Humbugger Ann was visiting in March and I sneaked a 'steal' of her lovely metal stencil and embossing paste.
With the stencil carefully removed, 3 complimentary colours of fine glitter were sprinkled seperately ... one side, then the other and finally the middle ... to create a graduated look.
This was then trimmed before double-matting onto mega-shiny turquoise and purple foil card. A DL card blank was decorated with alternating panels of blue sparkly card and purple foil card, which had been Cuttlebug embossed with Swiss Dots.
Think it may qualify for a few challenges and there's only one way to find out so here goes nothing.

It is quite wet and windy down south but probably not as bad as where you are - take care and don't go out if you don't have to. This card is delicious definitely loads of bling.

Beautiful card, really gorgeous, thanks for sharing it this week at CraftyCatz.xx
OMG Max your card is totally gorgeous - seeing that feather again brought back such fab memories of how we played with that paste and glitter. I can hear the 'oohs and ahhs' we both made in my head now - oh didn't we have fun. Eeh when we had the idea to put three shades of glitter on we were both in a right old state of excitement to see what it would turn out like and wowza didn't it look fabulous.
