Hello and thx for visiting!
I'm cutting it close today with my entry for The Paper Players #541 Challenge - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Anne Marie. However, I guess sometimes that's what happens with birthday cards, you need one quick, and this is a super easy card for those - need one quick times! Please click on either my card or the Paper Players image to go directly to their blog post.
I chose to use the Ornate Layers dies simply because they are so beautiful and filled with so many little dots! Yep those little dots are all over my desk - ha. But isn't it worth it, look at that dimension, love it!
And here's the card details:
4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Thick Basic White card base ( 4 1/4 x 11 folded in half landscape)
Two pieces of Basic White Cardstock (CS) for the Ornate Layers Dies
Ornate Layers Die 2 sizes
Happiest of Birthdays stamp set
Quiet Meadow stamp set
Ink Pads: Bermuda Bay; Pool Party; Balmy Blue; coastal Cabana
Assembly & Trix:
* Stamp the dots from the quiet Meadow stamp set across the centre of the card using Pool Party, Balmy blue & Coastal Cabana. ***Trix, alternate the direction of the stamp to fill in the dots and create a random pattern.
* Die cut with the largest die and adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.
* Stamp the sentiment with Bermuda Bay ink and cut out using the smaller die, adhere with dimensionals.
*You're done! Go give that card away :) & wish them Happy Birthday!
Enjoy & have a super day!
Such a beautiful birthday card, Lesley! The ornate dies make it extra special. I love the mix of blues you used for the dots. Thank you for sharing with The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteThx so much Ann, the dies are new to me I had to use them! Thx for creating the challenge fed to inspire us!
DeleteI love how those fancy edges just elevate the white layers! I think of the little dots as stamping sprinkles; I have a ton from the butterfly dies lol! The colors of your dots are nice and cool looking!! Thanks for sharing at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteLove that thought Amanda, I found myself keeping the swirls that popped out - ahh us stampers are silly sometimes - nothing goes to waste! Thx so much for the fun challenge!
