I have been wanting to do a card like this for ages and finally got around to doing it. There are many examples out there - here, here, here, and here. Basically, I just stamped the flowers, die cut "birthday" from the stamped part, then layered white cardstock (4 layers - 2 at a time), die cut and glued it all together. Next I stamped "wishes", taped my stamped piece onto the base, and then inlaid "birthday". When you die cut the stamped layer be sure to keep all the little bits because you need to put them back in at the end. Simple card but very effective. It wasn't easy to photograph so I did a close up also.
Supplies:
Stamps: PTI; Technique Tuesday
Ink: HA; PTI

What a gorgeous card, Betty!! I love the colors and the popped up greeting!
ReplyDeleteWell - that is so clever and so very pretty - still can't work out how you did it but it is so effective. Now I have to try out my die with that technique!
ReplyDeleteOh what a gorgeous card, Betty, and it's blue, too :) I need to get a die that is a bit thicker than my present ones and then I'd love to give this a try - your results are amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow! It turned out so beautifully, Betty! I need to try this too - just love it!
