Yippee!
I'm the Guest Designer over on the Retro Rubber Challenge for #148 - They Said It's Your Birthday - and we would love to see your birthday cards! I went for a Brrr-thday Card this time with Ellen Hutson & Julie Ebersole's 2018 release of "Snow Buds"!
I wanted a lot of texture on this card so I ink-blended & spattered the background panel and die cut it with Pink Fresh's Braided Tag arch. The next card stock layer was embossed with Sunny Studios' Cable Knit pattern and adhered to an A2 stitched rectangle die cut panel. I die cut/ink blended the snowflakes from Ellen Hutson's now-retired "Pop-Up Mittens" and glued/stacked several together for dimension. A little glitter was added for extra shine!
I die cut the bottom stitched hillside strip, stamped the sentiment, coated with edge with glitter, backed it with craft foam and attached it to the front. The snowman and Lawn Fawn's "Happy" sentiment were stamped, colored and die cut. I assembled/adhered all of the remaining pieces with glue, attached the silver string around the snowflake birthday "balloon" and wrapped it around the snowman's arm! This card is really bright and sparkly since I used two kinds of glitter! : ) I can't wait to see your BIRTHDAY projects over at the Retro Rubber Challenge and just remember to show some love to those older stamps in your collection!
Thanks so much for joining me today and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!
