If you are just finding us for this blog hop, Welcome!  Make sure you check out the other projects from the first two days!  Leave a comment for a chance to win a giveaway!  If you are returning, glad you are back today for me to share this fun birthday tag.  I used an XL shipping tag for this project.

First I used the Stampendous Embossing Tinsel in Vintage Lilac and Embossing Enamel in Aged Wine on the stamped image of the sunflowe using their Jumbo Sunflower cling stamp. 

When I used the heat gun, I was sure that the glitter would sort of disappear but it got even more sparkly if that is possible!  It is so gorgeous! The image is crisp and clear too!

I used the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils (# 105, 111, 133, 136, 141, 143, and 183) inside the flower and outside the flower to create a dramatic contrast.

You can see the close up of the sketched in areas before I added water.

I used my waterbrush to add water and let it drip down.

Once dry, I mixed Textural Accents Whipped Spackle with the Glass Glitter in the Encrusted Jewel Kit pack.  Using the palette knife, I spread it through a hexagon stencil.  It gave the Whipped Spackle a great sparkle and looks like confetti!  I also embedded some of the Purple Fragments from that kit too.

Here you can see the Fragments in the Whipped Spackle.

I also used the Aquarelles on a canvas butterfly from Prima Marketing.  I love the way the resist shows up with the gorgeous color from the Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils.

I used the Embossing Tinsel again on vellum with the Birthday stamp set.  I layered the sentiment over the canvas butterfly.

Here you can see the sparkle really well!

I used the following products:

Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft®- Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils (red, blue, yellow, green- ## 105, 111, 133, 136, 141, 143, and 183), Textural Accents Whipped Spackle, Deluxe Waterbrush,  Gelato Tool Kit

photographer it is necessary that I converse the beauty of my work via high resolution images which make it possible for my audience to gain enthusiasm. Taking the perfect shot is a different thing and producing it is totally another. Whilst I was on a specialized trip, my wifi photo printer got a big snag, and in the central of the park, I certainly couldn't find any mechanic to resolve the issue.
Luckily I found the variety of a printer support business. After pounding in the numbers of on my GPS mobile I got to printer support and in just a short period of time the technician started to troubleshoot photo printer problem. The woman was very understanding in understanding my concern of being in the middle of nowhere and promised me that the printer would be back again and running in no time. Nevertheless the only glitch she told me was that I would have to reinstall the drivers of the wireless printer. As you must have suspected rightly, I was in the central of nowhere, how will I get the drivers! The professional and polite voice at the other end of the telephone reassured me that she could download and install the high resolution images background
from the Net and run the printer setup and installment all over again. She instructed me that the reinstallation will probably enable me to configure the photo printer all over again, therefore the removal of any bugs from the wifi printer as well.
I without doubt breathed a sigh of comfort, as I will be able to have a look of the pics that I had taken and then send it to my head office in Texas. After the brief minute of printer preservation my printer was back and running. I thanked the lady at the other end of the line and congratulated her for the very pro and empathetic manner in which she had handled the situation. To appreciate the professionalism and trust through which the woman had handled the situation, I congratulated her and even agreed on a subscription for ant-virus support from her high resolution images background.
