Sparkling Gold at the End of the Rainbow

What a glorious day - it is incredible what a little sunshine can do for you! I am even okay with the time change as long as I can see the sun! Since tomorrow is my challenge day, I thought I would do my St. Patrick's card today.

This is a digi image from Stamping Boutique that was part of our 50/50 group free digi images for March.

I started out with printing off the image and coloring it was prismacolor and copic markers.

Copic: B32, Y19, YR16, R35, G28, BV13 Prismacolor: cool grey 60%, goldenrod

I also used some spica pens for sparkle: lemon (05) and olive (07).

I wasn't sure where to go with the card from there so I decided to create a glitter background trying to duplicate the colors I used in the rainbow. Most of the glitter I used was from Art Institute Glitter: taffeta, flamingo, pumpkin and tangarine. I'm not sure where the blue glitter is from.

Now I sparkle and so does my card (have you perfected the art of using glitter without it ending up all over you?? I certainly haven't.). I am having lots of fun with the glitter background stripes - I think I may have to experiment with more colors.

Have a great night!

Oh, I love the glitter background! Lisa got me some fab glitter paper for my birthday and I am hoarding it (big surprise, I know)! What a really cool use for it! LOVE it!
