Happy Monday Everyone! It’s Nancy back with a card I created for Scrap ‘n Stamp… the prompt for todays Random Act of Cardness is Alphabet, so I grabbed some alphabet dies to play! I love these stitched dies from Lawn Fawn… they are a great size and on regular cardstock, the stitched line adds a great interesting element. You can’t see it so well on this patterned paper, but it’s there.
I started this card by cutting a smaller panel for the front of my card. I decided to keep it kind of simple in terms of layers so instead of yellow cardstock, I used my new Taylored Expressions Blending Brushes to create a yellow strip on the white cardstock after taping off the area with Purple Tape. I left it a little lighter in the centre and darker on the edges for a little more visual interest. I cut the letters out of patterned paper and adhered the to the inked strip. I added a layer of purple cardstock creating a 1/16th” border on all four sides and added it to a white card. I then used my stamp positioning tool to add the “it’s your birthday” stamped sentiment under the yellow ink.
There is a lot going on in those letters, but the overall look of the card is pretty clean and simple
