Stampin’ Up! Australia - Tin of Cards Birthday Card

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.







Here are the essentials:

  • I used some scraps of Cherry on Top DSP (including the tag) and teamed them with some of the new Metallics Gold Glitter Tape. 
  • Stamp on your patterned paper...the black archival ink is perfect to get a bold stamped image over a busy background. I used the birthday sentiment from the Tin of Cards stamp set on my DSP tag. 
  • The cotton paper is fantastic for making flowers....I punched 12 flowers with the pansy punch and secured with a brad...just scrunch the layers until you get a flower! 
  • My card looked a bit naked even after I added the flower and ribbon so a scattering of sequins was in order. :)

Here is our sketch for this week:
