Make It Monday #199: Confetti Garlands

              Make It Monday #199: Confetti Garlands
This was a very different technique for me.  I had not seen it before, but thought that I would give this a try.  Working on white card stock is not easy for me.  I seem to get ink or glue of fingerprints on it before it is finished.  Then I have to do card surgery on it.  Lol   This one was rather lucky and that was not the case.  But I did need to cover up some stuff that did not work out the first time and I am not going to tell where that is.  It is a secret. 
                                    Here is the card that I did for this confetti garland.

The recipe:  GKD card stock in Jelly Bean Green, Turquoise Sea and White
Stamp and die set from Paper Trey Ink, Give Me a Hand and
Dangled Stars die
Wink of Stella Gold on the dangled stars
You can see how it was done by Betsy Veldman here
 
I only brought some sequins, and one punch with me, so I used them to make confetti.  The Dangled Star die also has stars too.  I made the banner by stringing up the confetti that I made.  I will use this for a birthday card. 
I'm going to be putting my stuff away for a few days.  Kids and grand kids are coming, so I will be busy until next week.  See you all then.
 I so much appreciate the little bits of love that you leave when visiting my blog.

  6. Your confetti garland card is adorable! I love the colors of your sweet confetti. I couldn't see a possible cover up so great job on hiding boo-boo's. I know what you're saying about always messing up the front somehow, on a white card. I never seem to fail at that. Have a blessed time with your kids and grandkids. fun times!
