Had a very productive day for a change. I was wide awake at 6.30 this morning so I thought I might as well get on with a few things. I managed to do some pop to the supermarket, do some painting, wash and dry a load of clothes, hoover and mop the floors and do some ironing. I am aware that this is a normal day for most people, but I still find things hard with my bad back.
Onto today's card, as the sun has been shining today I have gone with a theme of bright and cheerful.
I have started with a square piece of green Centura Pearl card stock which has been embossed using the Die'sire Grande Dots embossing folder. This has been layered onto a piece of white card stock with a pierced boarder. I have also run a Perfect Medium pad around the edge of the white card and heat embossed with Whispers yellow embossing powder.
I have then taken a smaller square of white card stock and randomly stamp a floral design with Perfect Medium and heat embossed with yellow embossing powder. This has then been dry embossed using the Die'sire Flower Power embossing folder. Then using a Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Mustard Seed, I have added colour around the edges.
From the same green Centura Pearl card, I have used the Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders Two die to cut a boarder and add to the bottom of the white card. To this, I have also wrapped around some yellow ribbon.
The digital stamp was a limited time freebie that I picked up from Penny Blossom. I have coloured her using ProMarkers, cut her out and layered her onto the background using Pinflair glue to give dimension.
For the flower, I have stamp the Heartfelt Creations Striped Sun-Kissed Fleur using Perfect Medium and heat embossed with Wow Clear Sparkle embossing powder, then cut them out using the match die. I have sprayed each flower with water to soft and firstly shaped with an embossing tool and then scrunched them up to give a messy finish. They have been coloured using the same Distress Ink pad as the background and layered onto each other giving this messy looking flower.
I have made a bow using the same ribbon that has been wrapped around the background and glued this into place. The flower has been added to the top of the bow. I have then cut some leaves from green Centura Pearl using the Heartfelt Creations Sweet Juliet die and placed these behind the bow and flower.
To finish, I have added yellow flat back pearls to each of the corners and a Happy Birthday sentiment cut using the Whimsy Stamps Birthday Sentimentables die.
