The image is stamped and embossed with White EP, and colored using a Technique Junkies technique from the latest newsletter- Mono Markers. The Coordinations cardstock was embossed with the dots EP and sanded and Sakura Gelly Roll Pen colored on the sanded dots for sparkle. The Striped designer paper is by Authentique- the pad has the musical strip at the top of each strip. I embellished the corners with a Cheery Lynn corner die. I added rhinestones for some bling. The sparkly Poisin Ivy cardstock behind the candles is a little off white and very shimmery. I added more gold sparkle with a Spica Glitter Pen in Gold.

Mono markers? I thought it was just your superb copic technique! I like how you did the diamond shape with the corners - it gives the card some interesting lines.
