Primrose Birthday Card ~ Jo's Scrap Shack

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to share with you all that I am now on Jo's Scrap Shack Design Team. Today I want to show you all a card I made for Jo's Scrap Shack Fun-Day Friday Challenge #274.

The theme is "Anything Goes" and the sponsor for this week is Imagine That Digi Stamp. The lucky winner will win a $12 coupon to the Imagine That Digi Stamp online store.

 

Ok lets see how I made my card. 😊

First I grabbed one piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and cut it down to 8 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches with my Tim Holtz Maxi Trimmer and folded it in half while using my Teflon Bone Folder to make it fold nicely, this will be my card base/front.

I chose to work with the Primrose digi stamp set from Imagine That Digi Stamp which you can get HERE. I used the Primrose bouquet and the Happy Birthday sentiment and resized the bouquet to about 3 1/4 inch by 2 1/2 inch and the sentiment was resized to about 2 3/4 by 1/2 an inch on a Word document and printed out onto some A5 sized X-Press It Blending Card.

I coloured the Primrose image with Copic Markers (Y08, YG67, G29, RV21 and RV23).

Then I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut the Primrose image out and went around the image with a Memento Tuxedo Black to make the image look a bit nicer.

I used a blending brush to apply some Distress Ink in the colour Spun Sugar onto some A5 sized X-Press It Blending Card so then I could use a My Favorite Things die called Single Stitch Line Oval (which may be retired as I cannot find it on their online store) with my Sizzix Big Shot to cut out a cute oval frame to go around the Primrose image. I applied the same ink to the sentiment and used a Heffy Doodle die called Strips of Ease to cut the sentiment out but altered the width using my Sizzix Big Shot.

I adhered the oval, sentiment and image onto the card front/base with Art Glitter Clear Adhesive. I then decided the card wasn't completely finished yet so found some flat back pearls in my craft room and adhered the pearls with some Ranger Glossy Accents as that glue is really strong for this type of embellishment. 

And that's a wrap for my Primrose birthday card for Jo's Scrap Shack Design Team!
