'9' Today! by Danielle Vertigan

I've got a Birthday Boy in my house this weekend!

So I have a card showcasing some Colour Blast Paste and Embossing Powder.

I have plans for this card so what you are seeing today is Step One.

I went with a Vibrant Blue Card base.

Something a little different but I wanted contrast.

(Remember I have Plans)

I chose the Steel and Snow White Colour Paste.

Working around the edge of the card I used Steel and in the middle used the Snow White graduating it out.

I wanted to create a brightness in the centre.

Next I got the Dusty Charcoal and a Lollypop Stick.

I used this to freehand draw my circles.

 I LOVE the Snow White embossing Powder and used this with a cloud white Chalk Ink to Emboss my chipboard "9" and the tail of my Wood Flag.

I did this in 2 Layers to get a stronger coverage.

This is also a good technique to use when layering colours to customise your tones.

I embellished this one using all off-cuts from previous projects.

Cards are a great opportunity to use up all those goodies we just cant seem to part with after we have completed our layout.

I left the chipboard (Also Off-cuts) Raw.

I liked the texture is added this way.

I like to personalise my cards inside and I'm going to keep that secret just till the Birthday Boy see's it.

I look forward to showing you where this card ends up........

I hope you all have a wonderful Scrapping weekend

and

A very Happy Mothers Day to all the Mummy's out there...
