Happy Birthday Carole!
Well I made this card on the 29th of January, and the sun was shining here in Walsall but it was only 4 degrees.
It came together quite well, as I had no idea of what I was going to do, and just took bits and bobs from everywhere.
(cs) = card stock, (ef) = embossing folder, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set
- Emboss the front of the rococo rose (cs) card base using the subtle (ef).
- Emboss the shimmery white panel (cs) using the country floral (ef).
- Lightly sponge this panel using old olive and rococo rose stampin' pads.
- I edged each side of the panel using (r) old olive grosgrain ribbon (you can use old olive (cs) if you don't have suitable ribbon.
- Adhere the panel to the card base using liquid glue.
- Using the larger of the 2 piece's of shimmery white (cs) stamp the full sentiment from the lots of happy (ss) in old olive ink.
- With the smaller piece of shimmery white (cs), stamp just the "happiest" in rococo rose, then trim down this piece to just fit across the other one.
- Die cut the full sentiment using the stitched so sweetly dies and attach the rococo rose "happiest" using dimensional pads.
- Adhere the (r) rushed ribbon (this is sweet sugarplum, but it's almost a perfect match) across the front panel using snail.
- Attach the (r) silver sequins at the back of the sentiment (l used sellotape).
- Attach the sentiment in front of the ribbon using dimensional pads.
- Using the Sprig punch, punch out 2 plain sprigs and 1 perennial essence green sprig.
- Arrange the sprigs where you want them and adhere using glue dots behind the ribbon.
- Add 3 basic rhinestones down the left hand side of the base card.
Will be back again soon with more cards, hope you have a great day!
