Birthday Card ~ Blue Skies

Am I the only one that has issues with the 
colored Wink of Stella Glitter markers?
I finally invested in a couple since I LOVE my clear one.
I colored up my balloons and the colors were beautiful.
I can't get the green one to leave behind any glitter.
The glitter in the pink one goes down beautifully.
A few hours later when I got home and tried to take pictures 
the glitter was ALL gone and the colors had totally changed.
I ended up adding the glitter using my clear marker 
{I used regular white card stock on the balloons}
I took the last photo under a light so the glitter would show.
Okay on to my card.
I used a stencil and distress stamp pads to create my background.
I like how the texture looks on the watercolor paper.
To finish off I added the die cut sentiment.
I sponged the paper first so it would match the sky.





*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.

  1. Wow! They look totally different. Both look pretty. But when you expect things to look a certain way, you aren't satisfied. I would write the company and tell them.
    Both really do look pretty.

  2. Cute and fun card, the glitter really sparkles. The background you created is perfect. I have yet to try a Wink of Stella pen so I don't know anything about them.
