CARD# HPJ-2015-02: Rolled Flower Happy Birthday
I wasn’t able to finish the
card before midnight last night. I used molding paste and acrylic paint on the
background so I had to wait for it to dry. Remember I can’t use my dryer.
Even if I missed my
self-imposed deadline, I’m still happy it turned out well. I will just have to
make a ‘card’ planner (like my sister suggested) so I can go through my card
making smoothly.
Anyway, let me just tell you
quickly how the card was put together. First, I made a 4” x 4” base from a
leftover white cardstock. I cut another square of cardstock slightly smaller
than the base (minus 1/8” all around). I put down a stencil onto the surface of
the cardstock and spread an even amount of molding paste. Afterwards, I
spattered some paint and painted the edges with black acrylic paint. While
waiting for it to dry, I made the flowers. If I remember it right, I’ve posted
how it was done somewhere in my blog so I won’t go into further details.
After the background has dried,
I stamped flourishes and adhered the paper flowers. I made a small bow from a
length of lace trimming and affixed it onto the card. I added a brad and some
resin embellishment as well as several black crystals. I ran a piece of black
cardstock through my Cuttlebug with a Spellbinders die and stamped the ‘Happy
Birthday’ sentiment on it. I don’t have a white matte ink pad except for Brilliance
so I had to overwrite the text with a white pigment ink pen. When I was
satisfied with the embellishments, I placed a couple of foam tape at the back
of the cardstock and adhered it onto the card base and that was that.
This was another easy and fun
project. I hope you find it interesting. I will post the next one in a little
while (the one which was supposed to be for yesterday). Have a wonderful day
(or night in our region).
