At the weekend I held my monthly Card Making Class. As October is the final one of these classes of the year, before we head into Christmas, there wasn’t a theme.
This project combines several shades of blue to create a fun Birthday Card. It would be a great card to send to men or teens. But, the design colours and messages can be changed to suit anyone.
For my project I used Azure Afternoon, Secret Sea and Balmy Blue, along with Basis White.
First the background piece is coloured using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Pad and a Blending Brush.
This piece is then embossed using the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder from the September-December Catalogue.
Next, the embossed piece is given some touches of extra colour using an Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Pad and a Blending Brush. Using a darker blue helped to highlight parts of the embossing.
Using the Words & Wishes Stamp Set and Dies, the sentiment pieces are cut and stamped.
‘Happy’ is layered and stuck to the background, along with the ‘Birthday’ stamping.
As the pieces are being stuck onto embossing, Tear & Tape is used to create a strong bond.
Finally, some Moody Palette Glossy Dots in Secret Sea are added to the flat pieces between the embossing.
