Hi all, today is my birthday so I made a birthday card for myself using my favourite colours, techniques, craft supplies and, of course, one of my favourite stamps - Curvy Girl Eats Cake
My favourite colours for cardmaking are pink and teal.
Dress and shoes - BG11, BG13, BG45, BG53, BG57
Flowers - R30, R32, R35
Plate: BV11, BV13
Cake: E51, E53, E55, R30, R32, R35
Leaves: G20, G21, G24
Shadow: W00, W1, W3
A favourite technique of mine is to use a scoring board and stylus to create a frame around the image. I do this by turning the image face down and scoring on the 1/8" line on all four sides.
The teal, mint and pink papers are a mix from various different brands.
My next favourite thing is to decorate the inside of the card. This does add a lot of weight to the card and is more expensive to mail but I just love the finished look.
I also added a place to hold a gift card - who doesn't love gift cards??
On the card front I stuck down the card and paper layer.
Then I used strips of contrasting paper and adhered them to the back of the image, before gluing that down onto the paper base layer.
Finally, my favourite embellishment - enamel dots. I have these in just about every colour there is; you could almost say I have an obsession with them!
And here is the finished product! All of my favourites on one card. Happy Birthday to me!
