ID: MC May/17 - Easel Paper Towel Macaw - ECD Live Smile - HB card
size: 5"w x 7"h (easel closed)

Created: May 27, 2017
Modified:

And here's another one of those paper towel backgrounds... This was a very vibrant one which reminded my of skies and seas.

I'm using an A Way With Words die "Live" and "Sweet Smiles" 2 pce set from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE and HERE

And I'm using a couple sentiment stamps from Quietfire Design 

("Twirl and Enjoy" 3pce set); ("Happy Birthday Plain and Simple" 7pce set)

 

 

Scored and folded my aqua toned cardstock to create the easel, and another piece the same size as card for the front.

Adhered my paper towel to a thin cardstock using PVA glue, trimmed down and adhered to card front.

Electronically cut the palm tree and adhered to front.

Electronically cut a silhouette image of the Macaw from white cardstock, inked my stamp (Starving Artistamp "Macaw 2") with Versafine Black Onyx and stamped the silhouette. Colored with Prisma colored pencils. Adhered to card front adding an aqua mini rhinestone for the eye.

Die cut the "Live" and "Smiles" from white cardstock, surgically removing the "s" from Smiles. Adhered both words to card front.

On the floor: Adhered another piece of the paper towel background.

Electronically cut a silhouette image of the Cockatoo from white cardstock, inked my stamp (Flonz Craft "Cockatoo") with Versafine Black Onyx and stamped the silhouette. Colored with Prisma colored pencils. Adhered to card front adding an blue mini rhinestone for the eye.

Stamped the sentiment using the black.

Stamped the "Happy Birthday" onto white cardstock using the black and clear embossed. Die cut using Spellbinders "Fancy Tags 2" set, moving the die over a bit to get a smaller die cut. Added a blue colored pencil stitching detail. adhered to floor, and adhering the blue ribbon through the holes.
