Blank Slate #2

Today I revisited the Blank Slate Challenge - the only paper that can be used is white card stock.  This time I worked with adhesive & a bunch of glitter (and my craft room will never be the same - glitter is EVERYWHERE).  

I started with a piece of white card stock just smaller than the card front.  I covered it with double-sided adhesive and then added a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop called Mini Birdhouses.  Next I cut out a couple of cloud shapes from the cover sheet for the double-sided adhesive and added them.  

Once these masks were in place, I added green glitter below the top rail of the fence - then blue glitter above it.  Once that glitter was rubbed in and most of the excess removed, I removed the masks & added white glitter in their place.  Then I colored the birds and one room of a bird house with markers (Scroll & Brush markers).  Finally, I stamped and heat embossed the word "FRIENDS" - from the stamp set Friends Forever Quotes (Fiskars) - using a turquoise glitter embossing powder.  It was actually the words "FRIENDSHIP", but I made sure that the last three letters were not inked up.  Then I cut around the embossed word & added it to the card front using dimensional tape.

Inside I used some glitter ribbon for borders & stamped the sentiment (from the same Fiskars set) with a turquoise ink.
