Birthday Wishes Gradient Glitter Card

For the front: Place your card with the fold on the left. Take out a sheet of silver pearl material and tape the stencil to it, leaving 1" of space between the edge of the stencil and the edge of the sheet. Scoop out a small amount of Perrywinkle Sparkle Texture Paste with the mini squeegee and scrape it over the left side and middle of the stencil. Wipe off the squeegee. Apply Holly Green paste next to the Perrywinkle areas. Wipe of the squeegee. Apply Lavender Mist paste to the remaining empty areas. Clean squeegee. Give the stencil one last scrape down. Carefully remove the stencil tape and stencil from the sheet and set aside to dry for 2-3 hours, until it is completely clear. Once dry, cut the stenciled piece to 5"x6 1/2" and apply to the card front - there will be a silver border along the top and bottom. Save the stenciled strip that you cut off. Glue 5"x5/8" Violet suede paper across the top and bottom. Cut 4"x3/4" of suede and cut a V in the right side. Glue to the card on the left side, 1 3/4" from the top. Die-cut a label shape from white cardstock and stamp the frame and greeting on it as shown. Mat on suede paper with a 1/16" border and foam tape to card 1/4" from the left and 1 1/2" from the top. Glue a small silver twill bow to the right of the label as shown.

For the inside: Mat the excess stenciled strip on suede paper with a 1/8" border. Glue across the card 1" from the top. Create a label identical to the front except using the stamps shown in the photo. Mat on suede and glue to the card 1 1/2" from the top and 1/4" from the right.
