Birthday Fun
I put together this simple, fun birthday card based on the current sketch from Global Design Challenge. The patterned paper did most of the work on this one!
After I decided to make a birthday card, my challenge was finding a fun patterned paper for the cardfront. I settled on one from an Echo Park paper pad. The mix of colors, words, numerals, and fonts was great for building a card around! I edged the patterned paper with red cardstock, then adhered it directly to a cream card base. The kraft panels on either side of the patterned paper were adhered using foam tape for dimension. I added the sentiment panel on top, using more foam tpae. The "happy birthday" I used is from the Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler set--a great all-around sentiment set. I accented it with a bunch of red enamel dots in a mix of sizes.
Materials Used:
Sentiment Sampler stamp set, Flag Tags dies (Paper Smooches); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); Poppy Parade and Baja Breeze cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Kraft cardstock (Papertrey Ink); That's My Boy 6x6 paper pad (Echo Park); red enamel dots (Eyelet Outlet); foam tape
