Hap-pea Birthday card

Hello

Today's card is a fun one that contains a pun in the sentiment.  I don't often make funny cards so it was nice to change things up a bit.

Materials:

  • Green card base, white (Trophee, 240gsm, white linen) and black (Trophee, 210gsm, black) card, green paper
  • Pea stamp (Fiskars), alphabet stamps (Cre8tiv) and 'birthday' (Sullivans) stamp
  • Green ink and black (Stazon) permanent ink
  • Green pen and a green and black gel pen
Directions:
  1. Stamp over the card front the pea image several times in green ink.  Stamp the pea image again in black on to the white card.  Stamp out the sentiment using the alphabet stamps and 'birthday' sentiment, use green ink for 'pea' and black for everything else.
  2. Colour in the pea image with the pens.  Use the black gel pen to draw a smiling face on one of the peas.
  3. Matt the white card with the green paper and then black card.  Adhere to the card base.
I love how this card turned out, I'm going to have to make some more funny cards in the future because this one was so much fun to make and it brings a smile to people's face when the see it.

Till next time
Stacey
