I folded my white cardstock at the
7" point leaving 4" for the front flap which is then
covered with my front piece. Front:
Stamped the raindrops (Designs By Ryn "Water Droplets")
using Distress mini pads ("Tumbled Glass" all over, here
and there with "Broken China" & "Faded
Jeans") misted with water and stamped. Hit the high points with
a Versamark pad and embossed with Pearlescent embossing powder.
Trimmed down and adhered to a blue Bazzill pearlescent cardstock
then on to the card front. Die
cut the circles from white cardstock, inked with Versamark and
embossed with Hot Stuff "Soft Fallen Snow" embossing
powder (ps this is a textured thick type of finish with a slight
sparkle like you find on snow - really nice). Created
a shadow layer of the die cut (but you can fussy cut around it
instead) and cut from a decorated piece of watercolor paper (see
below for a pic and colors of this paper). Inked with the Versamark
and embossed with clear UTEE twice. Then heated areas to adhere the
outline piece from above. Adhered to card front using Best Ever
Glue. eCut
the fairy from white cardstock. Colored the fairy using a black
Pentel Brush pen. Inked the wing area with the Versamark, sprinkled
with Hot Stuff "Turquoise Shimmer" embossing powder and
brushed off the overlapping areas of powder, then heat set. Adhered
to card front. On
the inside: Adhered a piece of blue/gold Sari ribbon at the join
mark. Stamped
the raindrops again - same colors. |
 I
had made a stamp from the circles die by cutting 2 pieces of fun
foam, one of which had double sided adhesive on it, then stuck them
together. Inked with the above colors, misted with water and
stamped. Die
cut the "Happy Birthday" from white cardstock, inked with
above colors, and embossed with the turquoise. Adhered to inside of
card. As
a final touch I did some of my own calligraphy in a script style
using a Nikko G nib and Sumi ink. words:
Splish, splash, you make my heart laugh. |
