Beauty Abounds meets Itty Bitty Birthdays

Hi folks, hope you're having a great day!

And welcome to my haven in a hectic world.

Happy Birthday Jill x

I picked out two stamp sets for this card and wanted to use the 18 - 20 in colours, so this is what I came up with.

All measurements are in centimetres.

(cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper, (ef) = embossing folder, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set.

Colours are: call me clover, lovely lipstick, memento black, pineapple punch, whisper white.

Card Stock: lovely lipstick 21 x 14.85 scored at 10.5 (card base), pineapple punch 2 pieces 10 x 14.2 (1st layer) 5.5 x 11.7 (3rd layer), whisper white 3 pieces 6.6 x 13.6 (2nd layer, left side) 5.2 x 11.1 (image) 1.5 x 7 (sentiment).
DSP: 3 x 13.6 (second layer, right side)

• Using the 18-20 in color (dsp) adhere down the right hand side of the larger pineapple punch (cs) leaving an even gap top, bottom and right side, using liquid glue.
• Emboss the larger piece of whisper white (cs) with the scripty 3D (ef) and adhere down the left hand side of the larger pineapple punch (cs).
• Adhere a strip of the pineapple punch grosgrain ribbon down the join of these two pieces using glue dots or sticky tape, then attach to the card base using dimensional pads.
• To create the background for the main image and using the beauty abounds (ss) Stamp the larger of the circle blobs down the centre in alternate call me clover and pineapple punch using the 3rd generation stamping off method.
• Next stamp the main image in memento black, then colour using the appropriate stampin' blends.
• Adhere the image piece to the smaller pineapple punch (cs) using liquid glue, then attach these pieces to the main card base using dimensional pads.
• Stamp the sentiment from the itty bitty birthday (ss) in memento black on the smallest piece of whisper white, then flag both ends (i used my (r) bunch of banners dies. Attach to the card base with a dimension pad on the left side and liquid glue on the right.
• Add some random basic rhinestones around the image (remembering an odd number is the norm).

Hope you liked today's card, I will be back again soon with more.
