Rainbow Birthday card

Hello!

During this week we changed seasons from summer to autumn and we certainly noticed it!  A massive storm blew over the country causing some decent damage and we had four days of just horrible weather.  Thankfully now the weather has calmed down and we have managed a few days of sun.  I'm not quite ready to give up summer yet so during this horrible weather I made a rainbow card to cheer myself up.
Materials:

  • Black and white card
  • One swirly border stamp, one 'Happy Birthday' stamp, a bird stamp and a balloon stamp
  • A selection of inks in rainbow colours plus black and embossing ink
  • Felt pens
  • Gold gel pen
  • Gold embossing powder
  • Three gold star embellishments
  • Corner rounding punch
Directions:
  1. Create the card base from the black card and round all four corners.  Use the white card to create a panel for the front.
  2. Using the border stamp, stamp in the order of the rainbow from the left edge of the white panel.  Stamp and emboss the 'Happy Birthday' towards the bottom right.  Stamp the bird on top of the word 'Birthday' and then add the balloon so it appears that the bird is holding on to it.  Colour in the bird and balloon with the felt pens.  Draw small gold stars with the gel pen on to the balloon.  Create a dash line border around the right section of the card with the gel pen and adhere the stars.  Round all four corners of the panel and adhere to the card base.
That's it for this weeks card.  Hope you have a great week.
Till next time.
