Hi everyone! I've had a great time this week with the current challenge called ABC, 123. The theme is to use letters or numbers on your card. I had been thinking about making a background using a stamp set and the idea was a perfect backdrop for my big B-Day message.
This slimline card started with a background stamped with the 5935 - Fairytale Houses Set. I stamped several butterfly, fence, bee and daisy images on a white background and colored them. I added clusters of dots from a stamp in the 5009 - WC Mini Flower Set. I used a white highlight pen to add some accents to the wings, and leaves. I used the new 5910 -Large Letter Die Set to cut two sets of letters out. One is cut in black and the other out of a striped paper from 5873 - Mini Birthday PP. I wanted to add the word Happy so I used a phrase from 5604 - Halloween Journal Die Set. The die actually says Happy Halloween but I trimmed the word Happy and backed it with gold glitter cardstock. It works beautifully like this for all kinds of non-Halloween sentiments.
To finish the card, I layered a black mat under the stamped panel and attached it to a red mini-slimline card base. Then I glued each black and patterned paper letter together so that a shadow effect results. I applied the letters with foam tape to help them stand out even more. For the final embellishment, I added three glitter enamel dots. The result is a fresh, spring birthday card.
Thanks for joining me here today. I hope you enjoyed seeing how I created the background using a stamp set and using big letters for the focal point of this card. I hope you'll make a visit to the Ai Store this weekend for all your card making needs.
