one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make a fun birthday card.
I opened the image and sentiment in Silhouette Studio, sized them to fit on a 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" card. I opened a racing flags cut file (details below) and added it to the image panel. The image panel is 2 3/8" x 4 1/2". I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card and coloured with Copic markers. I opened a fire flourish cut file (details below) and edited it to make a long layered sentiment strip (cut off the baseball and welded the flames to a long rectangle) to fit the sentiment, one of several that comes with the Speeding By digital stamp set. The largest flame is just over 5 7/8" wide by just over 7/8" high. I printed the sentiment panel on orange textured cardstock then cut with the Silhouette Cameo. I cut the red and yellow flame layers to mat under the sentiment with the Silhouette Cameo too. I matted the image panel with black cardstock, trimmed to a 1/16" border using the Perfect Layers ruler. I cut some strips from the red, orange and yellow cardstock used for the flaming sentiment and layered them together. When I went to assemble the elements, I decided to trim the card down, so now it is 4 1/4" x 7 1/4". I added a panel of white textured cardstock to the trimmed card base then adhered the contrasting strips in place. I added some 1mm thick foam squares along the top & bottom of the back of the image panel and a smear of liquid adhesive along the middle then attached it of the contrasting strips. Lucky last came the sentiment strip. I added a 2mm thick strip of foam tape along the lower edge of the matted sentiment strip and a thin line of liquid adhesive along the bottom edge of the image panel and adhered it in place.
I love the variety of sentiments that come with this Speeding By
digital stamp set and look forward to making some more cards soon.
