Happy for You

I loved Michelle’s inspiration card for this week’s Muse challenge and had to put together my own version incorporating elements from her original design. I included lots of white space and pops of sparkly metallic as well as the festive theme from Michelle’s design in my take. I used a Winnie and Walter die to cut the word “happy” from shiny gold cardstock and designed my card around that.

Instead of a large balloon die cut, I used a fun layered champagne glass. The glass was cut from white vellum, then filled in with a gold piece to represent the bubbly stuff. The pieces were arranged on white cardstock, strategically placing them so that I could hide the adhesive I used on the vellum piece. I stamped the “for you” from the Winnie and Walter The Big, the Bold, and the Happy set beneath the die cut word in Delicata Golden Glitz ink. The Delicata inks are my favorite metallic ones. They are so sparkly! I accented the glass with a trio of different sized clear sequins. The finished panel was matted on gold paper, then adhered to a white card base.
