I absolutely love the image from the Sasayaki Glitter Progressive Challenge this month and it's perfect for my daughter-in-law who has an almost-Christmas birthday that often gets lost in the rush of all the holiday festivities. I try to do a separate birthday card for her every year, in addition to her Christmas card. I know she'll love the silly sentiment on this one.
Everything was done with scraps this time, including printing the image onto a scrap of white CS. I colored the image with ProMarkers, but the gold and silver gift bags are colored with metallic paint pens. I then cut the image with a die from Spellbinders. The dark green frame was also cut from a scrap with another die that same set.
The sentiment is printed with a computer font, then hand cut, inked along the edges, and mounted onto the bottom of the image piece. I added a bow, made with a scrap of sheer ribbon and 'dyed' green with a marker, then sewn together with a tiny pearl.
