Stippled Blossom Birthday Card {Photo Tutorial}

Good Morning Dear Reader, today i thought that i would share some thing a little different for me a photo tutorial of the card that i shared yesterday. Now this is a picture heavy post, so grab a cup of your favourite drink and settle in. 


So to start you will need a card base that has been layered with a card stock layer and a layer of DSP.  I used a Baked Brown Sugar card base, a So Saffron layer and Baked Brown Sugar DSP from the in colour paper stack.

Then on Whisper White card stock stamp your flowers and leaves and ‘fussy cut’ them out.
I used So Saffron For the large roses and Crushed Curry for the smaller flowers and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.  To create the tones i ‘stamped off’ before stamping the first layer.  Stamping off is when you ink the stamp and stamp some of that ink off on a spare bit of paper before stamping on your cards stock.  For the second layer i just stamped straight on to the first layer after inking.  This meant that i didn’t have to worry about matching colours for the details.

Stamp the greeting on a banner piece and roll one end and swallow tail the other.
My strip was 1.5cm and was 4inchs long {i know mixed units but it works for me lol} I stamped the greeting in Baked Brown Sugar.

Adhere the larger leaves to one of the roses.
I used snail adhesive.

Then adhere the greeting banner to the roses and leaves with the top leaves over lapping slightly.

Now we are ready to assemble.
This is how i make all my cards i always get everything ready first then all i have to do i stick them together.


By adhering the first rose flat and the next rose on 3D foam means that you get some dimension on the card.



And that’s the card finished…..all ready to send.
I hope that my tutorial was clear as it was my first i would appreciate any feed back that you have.
Until next time
