Summertime is the height of birthday season for my family, so it was no trouble making a CAS birthday card. This one went to my granddaughter, who loved the humor of it.
The stamp set is from Stamping Bella and all of their packaging has a colored example on the front, so this one was relatively easy to recreate. I knew the pleats were going to be a challenge for me to color, so I stamped the image twice, practiced on one then set about coloring the final image, for which I used Copic markers.
Next the panel was cut with a diagonal stitched rectangle die, then matted on a light purple card stock. I cut two additional panels from scrap cardstock and layered the behind the main image, then adhered it to the black card base. The sentiment was stamped and fussy cut in a wonky fashion befitting the script and the "queen", and added to the card front with foam tape. The last touch was to add some black rhinestones and using a shimmer pen on her crown and dress, because who doesn't need a bit of sparkle on their birthday?
Thanks for visiting, now pop on over to the challenge blog, where my talented teammates have some wonderful inspiration to share with you!
Take care!
