The card

The topper

heres how i made it

I used an A5 card blank and inked the edges using vintage photo distress ink applied with a make up sponge , next i took backing paper from my Tinkering With Steampunk cd rom and lightly inked it the same as above . I then added a piece of lace from my stash also lightly inked and attatched that and a border and paper ribbon accross the top left hand side of the backing paper at an angle .

I then cut out the topper twice , used one topper to decoupage and used a gold gel pen to highlight in places and give it a little shimmer ( hard to see in the pic ) .

I attatched all this to the card blank using double sided tape and used gold peel offs to border it all .

I then added the " may all your wishes come true " sentiment that was part of a gorgeous parcel of goodies given to me by the lovely Debbi Taylor .

and finished it all by adding card candi and mat bronze sequins from my stash .

The backing paper , topper and border strip were all taken from my Tinkering With Steampunk rom

I hope that you like todays make , thanks for stopping by !

HAPPY CRAFTING !
