Mellow Yellow

At Less is more Week 69 We have a very simple recipe this week and that is simply to make a card which is
NOT A SQUARE
nor a rectangle for that matter.
For once I am not uploading at the 11th hour!  This card was a total accident, I have been trying to get the E-craft working i.e. not chewing up my cardstock and paper! I can never remember the pressure for each paper and although it is supposed to be 'matless' some kind of mat IS needed, I found a cropper hopper plastic 12x12 divider. I hardly use the e-craft as it takes so long to get a good cut. Don't even get me started on the crappy software it comes with, lucky I have SCAL!  

Anyway enough of a ramble, I was using this svg file 'Hibiscus stencil card' (I cannot remember where it came from, there is no TOU and no name on the file.  If anyone knows please let me know and I'll add a link.)  I was using cardstock in colours I never normally use to test the machine.  This was the 4th attempt..... the sentiment is SU.  I used stick and spray to attach the red front to the yellow but then realised that the yellow cut outs were sticky ...Doh!  so I had a brain wave and poured crystal glitter over the card and volia! a shaped card !!!

Edit: the file was from here
