Let me tell you a little bit of how I used all the products above to create this card.

I first started with the Nuvo Blending Sponges  and Carrot Stick ink from the

Nuvo Diamonds Hybrid Ink Sunset Serenade ink set.

Just sponging fun dots on an embossed confetti card stock.

Next I stamped the image from Emma’s Best Birthday

I then used Water Color Pencils Hair/Skin Tones to start

water coloring her hair and skin tones on water color paper.

I finished coloring her in with Aqua Flow Watercolor Pens Surprise Party

and a water brush.

I added Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive glue to her apron and shoes, 

then sprinkled Gypsy Red glitter on.

I did the same for the 'frosting' on the cake, but this time I

used Tangerine glitter and a Nuvo Craft Spoon to apply.

If you are not familiar with this spoon, it allows you to easily apply

glitter in all those tiny little places...so neat!

I added a piece of Tear-ific Tape ½” to the inside,

then added Tangerine glitter to the adhesive strip.

I also stamped the sentiment with Versamark (both inside and out),

then embossed with  Red Apple embossing powder.

Using Nuvo Glitter Drops Yellow Bird and Crystal Drops Ripened Pumpkin

I added little dots all around the cake image.

A pretty yellow gingham bow and purchased butterfly were 

added to finish.

Also in the making of this card I used a few of my very favorite products,

TimHoltz Stamp Platform to stamp my images with. 

I use this daily and can't imagine how I would stamp without it..love this thing!

Also I use on a daily basis the double sided Tear-ific Tape ¼” and 

Tear-ific Tape ½”.

And last but not least, I have the Nuvo Stamp Cleaning Pad along with

the Nuvo Stamp Cleaning Solution.

Thank you for visiting with me today,

some of these fabulous products! (all the links are above).
