For the third day of National Craft Month, I made a birthday card for a co-worker who's having her birthday on Thursday. This is a 5 x 7 card.
The tools and materials I used are as follows:
- Flower stamp, background stamp by Hero Arts
- Happy Birthday and birthday sentiment (inside) stamp by Cloud 9 Designs
- Inkpads: SU Baroque Burgundy (background), Colorbox Fluid Chalk in Yellow Ochre (big flower), ColorBox Black Pigment Ink (Happy Birthday), Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Black Soot (edges)
- Kodomo No Kao embossing ink
- Spica At You glitter pen in Clear and Black
- black embossing powder
- black rhinestones by Duncan
- cardstock
- flower by Prima
- Tim Holtz edge distresser
- craft knife
- Misc: leftover ribbon, clear glass bead, nail art accessory (the small dot on the upper left of the flower)
- Adhesives: double adhesive foam tape, glue dots
- Kandi Kane applicator wand
- heat gun
With this card, I want to do more stamping. First, I stamped the background paper with the same ink tone. Then, I distressed the edges. I also inked the edges of the card base, in front and inside. On white cardstock, I stamped the big flower, and the Happy Birthday. I also stamped and embossed the small flower with black embossing powder. After that, I cut the three images with a craft knife. For the Birthday stamp, I added glimmer on the edges with black Spica pen. I also did the same with the flower image, this time with clear Spica pen. Then, I made a bow with a leftover piece of ribbon (and I have to say that my bows are getting better!). After assembling all the pieces, I adhered the black rhinestones with my applicator wand.
I hope she likes it!
