Castle Card, Template & Instructions

I am so excited to share my card with you today. I had seen a castle book in the Sept. '09 issue of Beautiful Cards (pg.35). You buy the book and embellish it. Well, I figured maybe I could make a template for one...why buy it if I can make it...then I could share it with you all.


And here's my card:
Card Size: 8.5" x 5.5"

Isn't it just the coolest thing!!?!! I'm so excited, and pleased with how well it turned out....flowers, glitter and rhinestones oh my.

Here's the one side open. I didn't embellish much on the inside because I didn't want things to get squished when it was closed for delivery.

Here's the other side. (I have yet to add my name and other info to the back page.)

Here are some close-ups of the details.

For the number, I stamped the '9' on CTMH Blush CS, covered it with Liquid Glass and then added Prisma Glitter...it looks like chipboard...I attached it with Foam Squares.

The roof is also covered with Prisma Glitter, I followed the swirl pattern on the paper.

Here's a view of all the glitter glittering away.
