I created this card for the current My Favorite Things Birthday Project Challenge. It’s not my usual style of card but I love the final feel of the card and hope it inspires you to try something a bit different.
I have a super pretty 12 x 12 pad of patterned paper from Crafters Choice (Pale Garden) which has some stunning floral images so I chose one and based the colour scheme of the images around that. I used the My Favorite Things Town Bear and Sweet Sloth stamps set. The stamp images were coloured with Copic markers and die cut with the matching dies.
To make the base I cut out the circle out of the patterned paper using a nesting die and using that die plus one slightly larger I made a skinny frame out of plain white cardstock. I adhered the frame to the patterned paper with glue.
I adhered the cut out circle directly onto the cardbase and arranged the background images on top. I then placed a larger circle of thin vellum over the images to mute the look of them, so the card doesn’t look too busy. I really wanted the little bear to stand out.
Using my ATG I taped the patterned paper to the cardbase and then popped up the cutey pie bear and the clouds using dimensional foam.
To finish off I used a corner rounder on two of the corners and that’s it done.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
