Hello crafty friends and welcome back!! Laurie with you today to share a birthday card!! I really needed a break from Christmas card making and also wanted to showcase some Concord & 9th goodies that are new to the shop!!
I used the Happy Day Stamp Set along with its c0-0rdinating dies to make this card. This isn’t a new set from C&9 but it is definitely worth a look if you don’t own it or a revisit if it happens to be in your stash!
I used my alcohol markers in shades of coral, green, tan and turquoise. I tried to go for a subtle look but sometimes have a hard time achieving that with my markers! The cake plate was actually paper pieced on a teal coloured paper. I added a bit of shading to the edges with my markers and polka dots with my white gel pen.
Once I started with the white details, I couldn’t stop and added them everywhere! The flowers also got a good coating of Clear Wink of Stella!! The co-ordinating dies have the words “happy day” which I cut from the same patterned paper as the plate. I cut the letters as well as the cake die from craft foam and adhered everything onto a white panel that was embossed with a folder from Taylored Expressions (unfortunately, this folder is not available :()
The panel was adhered to a white, top fold card base and I added a few clear sequins from my stash! This card was a little labour intensive, especially with the colouring but I really like how it turned out!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and I hope you will take a look around the shop at the new release section as it’s full of amazing goodies!
Thank you so much for dropping in today!! Have a great day and I’ll see you soon!
Laurie
