International Art and Soul Lots of Sparkle

This challenge is all about 'Lots of Sparkle' so come along and join us at International Art and Soul.

I thought most of the Design Team would come up with Christmas cards so I decided to get on with my Birthday cards for next year - I have three in the middle of January so I'm making a start.

I won some digis from Rick St Dennis with one of my recent cards so I chose this 'Fabulous Feline' to colour. I used my Promarkers to colour her and I added a gem to her brooch on the collar. Some of my Spellbinder dies were tried before I opted for this shape. I edged with Distress Ink and set to one side. The card blank is a 7x7 by Craft UK and I added a mat of bright yellow Papermill card topped with a First Edition glitter paper from their Hideaway pad. I'd already decided that I would use some of my jewelled ribbon that I bought in America a few years ago. It's the first time I've used this green and it goes nicely with the glitter paper so I set it down the left side and the image was placed to the right. I haven't yet decided whether to add a sentiment. There's lots of sparkle on this card so I'm sure my niece will love it. 

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
