I almost forgot to post tonight. I thought I had already set this up to post but when I looked, there was nothing. I didn't even have a card ready to post. So I went into my Pinterest saved images and found this fun card. I LOVE the looks of this. It's super simple to make too. You can see the original card here.
The base of this card is a folded 11" 4-1/4" piece of card stock. This card is folded at the top and opens from the bottom.
I die cut the "Happy Birthday" from the "Happy Birthday" thinlits die using Sweet Sugarplum card stock. I used the double sided sticky sheets to the back of the card stock so I could just remove the backing and stick it directly to the card stock. That piece of card stock it's stuck to is a 4-1/4" x 3-1/8" piece of Whisper White. Behind that is a piece of 4-1/4" x 3-3/8" piece of Sweet Sugarplum card stock. I taped those layers together.
Next I set those layers on top of the front of the card but I did not tape them in place yet. I wanted to see where the flowers needed to go. I stamped the little flowers from the "Happy Birthday,Gorgeous" set. I used Sweet Sugarplum ink for the solid part of the flower and Berry Burst for the outline. The outline of the leaves were stamped using Wild Wasabi ink. I ended up coloring them in with the Wild Wasabi marker. The original card showed them with just the outline but once I got mine stamped, I thought it should be colored.
After my coloring I taped that front focal panel layer in place. Then I added some green "Glitter Enamel Dots" to the card. I added some pearls to the center of each flower and I also added some "Wink of Stella" to the card. I went over the Happy Birthday words and the center lines of each leaf and the center lines of the flowers. I think if you click on the photo you can see the shimmer of the "Wink of Stella."
It was a very fun and easy card to make.
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda
