I scored and folded my pink toned cardstock
to create the side easel. Cut another piece of the pink cardstock for my front and covered it
soft finish cardstock leaving a 1/4" edge all around.
I inked the negative side of the
embossing folder with Distress "Old Paper", misted lightly
with water and ran thru my machine. Dried, then hit the high points
with various colors (blues, yellows, light greens and pink), clear
embossed, trimmed down and adhered to front. The
"Happy Birthday" was die cut from a previous decorated
background using "Color Burst" on Canson 90# CP watercolor
paper (smooth side), and before the colors dried, sprinkled with
table salt. After die cutting inked the letters with Versamark and
clear embossed using UTEE. Cut another word from the soft finish
cardstock and adhered the 2 layers together, slightly off set.
Adhered to front using Best Ever glue. The
flourishes were die cut from the same decorative paper and clear
embossed. The
flower was die cut several times from encyclopedia pages, layered
together and a large pink brad stuck through the center. Petals
scrunch by hand. The
leaves are from the poinsettia die, die cut from green decorated
paper (as above but using various greens and yellow and a touch of
blue). I scored veins in the leaves after die cutting, then adhered
to bottom of flower. On
the floor, adhered a piece of white satin/gauze ribbon. |
Stamped
the quote using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Die cut
using Spellbinders "Classic Frame" die set and altering
the size by cutting it in half and overlapping the edges, splicing
them for a neat fit and adhering to a scrap piece of cardstock. I
forgot that the die cut out the middle area, so cut a scrap piece to
adhere to the back to hold everything together. Camouflaged the
joins by adding gold Peel Offs and the leaves. Adhered to card floor
wit 3D foam tape and added some piece of mat board to reinforce it. Added the pink
rhinestone to the top and the button to the bottom leaves. |
