Glitter Ball Card... Get your Sunnies' out for this one

Hi folks! This is another one of those cards where I saw the stamp (Dancing Diva) and I knew exactly what I wanted to create, it was just a case of... how was I going to do it?! That's right, I wanted a huge Glitter Ball. I cut 2 large circles, one from silver mirri card and used a thick marker pen to draw the sections on the reverse. Using a craft knife I cut all of the 'spaces' and glued them to the other circle (which I had painted with Cosmic Shimmer silver paint)
I covered the card base with patterned paper by ATD and sprayed it with Rich Purple 'that special touch of...mica mist'. Layered the prepared Glitter Ball on top of that. I stamped the characters and coloured them with Copic Markers and highlighted the swirls on her dress with cosmic shimmer glitter glue. I adhered them with dimensional glue gel and added loops of ribbon and a huge feather behind. I finished off the card by adding the stamped sentiment which I shaped with my fingers and inked around the edges.
Hope you have a fab day.
Ciao for now!
