Hello crafters! Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! I have a fun Happy Birthday card to share today. I started by cutting the
Dotty Balloons dies out of several different colours of card; red, aqua, wisteria, cobalt and iris card. I added white backings to all of them and white squiggle strings. I attached them to the top of the card with mounting foam for dimension and glued the strings down into a single point. I cut the
Noble Happy Birthday die out of white and black. I used the black to shadow the Happy portion of the die and glued it to the left of the card. For the Birthday version, I coloured each of the letters with a different
polished silk glitter. I used spray glue over the entire word, then masked each letter then poured the glitter over them. It did take a little bit of time, but it looks great in real life (my close up pics grab all the sparkle the best!) The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I hope you are spending it with lots of family and friends.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card Sue. I wish that I had the balloon die as it makes such a great card suitable for all ages and genders. It may be time consuming cutting and glittering, but is worth worth every minute of one's time.

Sending Thanksgiving Blessings! I like how you made your fun and colorful balloons have squiggly strings as opposed to straight strings. Mashing each letter in "Birthday" to glitter each and everyone of the letters is very pretty. That took some time. LOL.
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue, such a bright cheerful card, would make anyone of any age smile on receiving it. Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bright, "happy" birthday card, Sue....the colours and sparkle would brighten anyone's day!! Jo xx
