It's your Birthday!

Good morning again.
Tuesday's mean a new challenge over at Cardz4Guyz.
This week we want you to make a MASCULINE project on the theme of -

Sparkle and Shine

I know, this is a masculine challenge but sometimes you can add a little bit of sparkle and shine!

Here is my interpretation of this week's theme.



I was influenced by the latest sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch


As you can see I was pretty literal in my interpretation of this sketch but kept it pretty masculine by using blue and a dark gold glitter card for the die cut sentiment. A CAS interpretation also adds masculinity.
First I took a panel of white card and inked a soft blue sky with Salty Ocean DI then spritzed it with my homemade shimmer spray (Inka Gold wax in platinum and a touch of steelblue mixed with water)
I used some pearly card, glossy white card and vellum for my die cut clouds and some gold mirror card for the sun's rays. I made this by cutting out a scallopped circle then embossed a stitched circle for the sun and cut away the panels to leave the rays. I still had my Sizzix sizzlets 'Endless Love' alphabet dies out so they were added into the mix to make the sparkly 'Shine'. The stamped sentiment is from a Crafters Companion set.

OK, that's me done, now it's over to you, please check out the rest of the DT for more ideas.

I'd like to join in over at -
