Celebrate In Style

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

This fortnight Team Lou have created projects to inspire you for the new challenge

Our generous sponsors for this challenge are:

Auzz Trinklets N Crafts

Jenoviya Art Shop

Today I have used the Cute flower bud (image 38) digital stamp by Jenoviya Art Shop, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight, to make a fancy birthday card.



As soon as I saw this cute image, I remembered a cut file design in my stash that would work perfectly to conceal the top of the leg.  It's a new-to-me fancy fold that I have not made before.  I opened the image and cut file (details & link below) in Silhouette Studio, sized the image panel to fit on the main panel and created the sentiment (font details below).  I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set, trimmed to size and coloured with Copic markers.  I cut the card base and layers using my Silhouette Cameo and adhered all the layers in place using liquid adhesive.  I adhered the image panel in place then used a hole punch to punch the holes to match the card base and ornate flap.  I adhered the flap down then added some ribbons and burlap string.  The only string in my stash was a pinkish purple, so I used the darkest purple Copic marker from the flowers on the image panel and coloured it for a perfect match.




The bow is a perfect match for the purple flowers in the image panel.





The sentiment was created using a combination of two different fonts.


I matted the back of the card before tying the ribbons.  This gives me plenty of room to write a message for the birthday girl.


I finished off the card by making a belly band embellished with a layered flower.  I punched four extra large and four large flowers from white cardstock and coloured them with Copic markers to match the flowers on the image panel.  The sparkling rhinestone in the middle of the flower started off clear, so I coloured it with the yellow/gold Copic markers used for the chain and accents in the image panel.
