It's time for another challenge with us at the
The sponsors for this challenge are:
Today I have used the absolutely fabulous Birthday Girl digital stamp from Lia Stampz, one of our generous sponsors this week.
I printed the image on A5 X-Press It blending card, zapped it with my heat gun then coloured with Copic markers. We have lots of red-heads in our family and on seeing this image I was reminded of two of our nieces, so this is my first time going for red hair. This red combo used E13 E15 E18. I have some darker marker combos ready to try for even richer hair and darker little black dress so that both nieces can get their glamorous birthday wishes just a day apart. Yes, I know the skin is fair, but these sisters have very fair skin to go with their very red hair.
I used a white gel pen to give the pearls in her necklace
some extra dimension and an ultra white finish.
The sentiment is a combination of fonts (Bradley Hand ITC and LW Sweetie Pie). After I printed the sentiment panel, I swiped it with my powder tool, went over the letters with a Versamarker pen, smoothered it with clear embossing powder and melted it with my heat tool. I gave the "fabulous" a double coat to make the letters even more luscious.
This card is quite large at 8x8". I made a top folding card base by scoring the top of the back panel and adhered it to the front panel. The base is matted with textured cardstock then layered with luscious glitter cardstock. I matted the image panel and sentiment panel with the same textured black cardstock, keeping a perfect 1/8" border by using a Perfect Layers ruler. It is usually a challenge to keep layers securely in place when using glittered cardstock but it's not a problem with my go-to glue, Helmar 450 Quick Dry. It's like using a hot glue gun without the "hot". I finished off the design by die cutting a bow, using the handle of a fine brush to give a smooth curve to the loops and tails.
If you have visited before, you will know that I can't resist sharing extra pics,
so here a couple more, taken in brighter natural light.
