Hello! Like me, you probably have a heap of things in your stash that you haven't used yet. Either that or it hasn't seen the light of day for some time???
I decided to create a fun birthday card using my new dies from Lawn Fawn called Lift the Flap.
I started with a panel of watercolour paper and used three colours of distress ink to blend my background. I flicked water and some white acrylic paint over the entire thing.
I stamped, coloured (polychromo pencils), and die cut the dragon.
(BTW, I die cut him using my NEW Gemini Jnr.... oh my.... I'm in love)
Then it was time for some embossing. I embossed the stars then used distress ink and flicks of water, once again, to create the background. I embossed the two sentiments (from a Ranger sentiment set) and used my guillotine to cut down to size.
The gifts are from a Christmas set (MFT) which I coloured and die cut.
I adhered the two panels together to create the front of my card. The entire thing opens, as normal, for me to write inside.
I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -
Dies R Us Challenge (Birthdays), HLS Watercolour Challenge (Die Cuts), STAMPlorations Theme Challenge (Stamps and Splatters), Watercooler Wednesdays (Occasions), My Time to Craft (New Stash), Fairy and Unicorn Challenge (Anything Fantasy Goes)
Thanks for popping in today :)
