This is Nicky with you today on the Alex Syberia Designs blog and I’m interrupting my Christmas card making to bring you this sweet birthday card featuring the Cheerful Panda Moments stamp set. I have also used the Postage Stamps Cover Die and Postage Stamps Stencil and the sentiment is from Hog Happy Day.
I took an A2 panel of sturdy white cardstock and used the Postage Stamps Cover Die to die cut. I layered over the coordinating stencil and ink blended using Saltwater Taffy, Tumbled Glass and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Inks. I kept the stencil in place and spattered using white acrylic paint loosened with a couple of drops of water.
I backed the die cut panel with dimensional foam tape and adhered it to a second A2 white panel.
I stamped the images from Cheerful Panda Moments. I shaded the white areas using Copic markers in C3, C1, C0, R0000 and I blushed their cheeks with R22, R21, R20 and R00. I highlighted a few points with a white gel pen and then fussy cut the images. I backed them with dimensional foam tape and applied them to the background.
To complete the card I added the little accessory images, I glued some flower shaped sparkling clear sequins in place and dotted in some interest using a metallic gel pen.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment taken from Hog Happy Day, using Versamark Ink and heat embossed in gold. I die cut the sentiment and applied it with foam tape and with that this little birthday card was complete!
I appreciate your stopping by the blog to read today, I’ll be back this time next week with something new, happy crafting!
