A Banging Birthday at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I'm back to share my inspiration for the last Paper Shelter Challenge of October!

The challenge is run from my home country {England} and back home soon they will celebrate Guy Fawkes Night (it's an odd thing to celebrate, I know), so the theme for this challenge is Make It Sparkle.

You can choose to interpret this any way you wish, but I just had to add some fireworks to my project! I have used 'Autumn Starter Kit' as she seems ready to go out for some sparkling fun.

 
I created a layered card using card scraps and die-cut elements.

The image has lines on the pants, so I decided to turn them into a plaid design,

I stamped and embossed the fireworks, then used embossing pen to add some extra bits and fill in missing bits.

My husband bought me a Cricut Joy Xtra for my birthday, so I used that to cut the sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!


You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.
