Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing a Birthday Card that I made for my sister-in-law:
I used some gorgeous Stamperia Hortensia Designer Papers for my card. These papers were released in 2020. On one of the 12" x 12" sheets, there are four 6" x 6" individual card fronts and I simply trimmed one of them out but did cut it down a bit so that I could have some cardstock layers and then pop it onto a white card base. I needed the finished card to be able to fit in my square envelope.
I used Versamark Watermark Ink to stamp the sentiment which is from the Stampin' Up Layering Leaves Stamp Set, then heat-set it using Ranger Detail Gold Embossing Powder. I went around the edge of the designer paper using a Versamark Watermark Pen fairly roughly so that when I heat-set it with the Gold Embossing Powder, it looked a little distressed.
I layered the image panel onto Pale Pink then Rose Pink Cardstock. I watered down some Jo Sonja Pale Gold Acrylic Paint then used my Fan Brush to splatter the panel. It looks so gorgeous in real life.
The Pink Organza Ribbon was attached in two separate elements, and the bow itself was made using my Bow Easy. I glued the bow on using Helmar's Fabric Glue. I added Fray Stop to the cut ends to stop them from fraying.
The pink butterfly above the sentiment is by Mintay - Lilac Garden - from their paper diecuts. I glued down just the centre so I could bend the wings up a little. The colours on the diecut matched the pinks in the designer papers so perfectly, it was just meant-to-be. I added some Uniquely Creative Clear Sparkle Pen to the pink butterfly, the white butterfly and a little on the hydrangeas.
I glued the panel onto a White Card Base.
As a finishing touch, I added 3 x Kaisercraft Rose Pearls but added a dot of Art Glitter Glue underneath so they didn't slip down like they seem to over time (for me anyway).
Finished size is 5-11/16" x 5-11/16" or 143mm x 143mm.
Thanks for stopping by!
Jocelyn
