Happy Birthday, Joanna!

Hello!

Today is Joanna Munster's birthday!  She is the genius behind the Inspired By Stamping site which includes her store, blog, newsletter and more.  The Design Team thought we'd wish her a big ol' happy birthday by having a blog hop showcasing some of her stamps, papers, and whatnot.

Today I chose to use one of my favorite razzle dazzle techniques of glittering through lace.


It's simply a matter of placing a piece of lace on sticky paper, coating it with one color (in this case a gorgeous purple), removing the lace and coating with a second color (teal).  Talk about SPARKLY!  I wish the photos could capture the glitter and glimmer and shimmer and shine but you'll have to try it for yourself to see what I mean.  You need to use a very fine glitter, and Art Glitter makes the best glitter in the world, in my opinion.


The flower is an acetate one I made a while back which needed a home, and I centered it with a small pearl.  The sentiment is from the IBS Vintage Sayings set and has been embossed with gold metallic powder.


The inside has been finished with a sentiment from the Happy Sentiment set.

Thanks for joining me and please drop by the other designers' blogs, then pop on over and wish Joanna a big happy birthday!
