What a miserable start to the weekend, but it’s a bank holiday – what more did we expect? So in true bank holiday spirit I have played games (namely Blur), put some photos up on Flickr, had a little nap and made cards. I had actually managed to get my hands on some Prima flowers and being so inspired by the flowers themselves I made this card using one of my Gorjuss Girls stamps.
I wanted to do something a bit different from just colouring in the stamp in just one solid colour. So I stamped a bit of patterned paper, cut out her dress and stuck it down onto a plain stamp, then coloured in the hair and skin. After that I then got my new Prima flowers and started selecting the colours that fit the paper that I had used for her dress.
After crumpling paper, inking edges and making sure that I was happy with the layout of the card I stuck it all down. The bottom Prima flowers are actually raised as is the tag with “happy birthday” on it; I didn’t want to have just a flat card!
I’m quite happy with how this one turned out. What do you think?
Happy Crafting!
