Happy 50th Birthday


Hi this is a card i made for a friend's birthday,

I started with a 8 x 8 square card blank matted and layered some white card added cosmic shimmer black pearls and set them aside so they could dry . Then i pricked around the edge of a 7 x 7 square white card  using a Tim Holtz ruler, I then cut out aperture using label one (second largest one ), then i cut out the largest decorative label one using black card , then cut out the inside using label one dies to make a frame and glued it on to the white card over the aperture so it made a nice framed aperture , then i cut the next size down of label one dies in silver mirri card. I then cut the second largest die from decorative label one in black card. I then stamped my sentiment onto white card and cut it out using label one dies. Then i cut out four Moroccan accents dies and arranged them around the sides of the label one in silver mirri card and glued then in place. Then i matted and layered them all together. I then made a flower using nestabilities blossom five, i cut three of the second largest dies out of a black and white double sided paper, spritz the paper with water then screw them up and use a brad to put them together and then leave to dry ( don't over wet your paper you only need a small amount of water) .  then i cut out two flourishes out of  sliver mirri paper using venetian motifs. then i used a black shear organza ribbon made a bow and used a couple of stick pins (creative expressions ) and an embellishment in the centre of the bow then i put it all together .
I hope you like this card x
thank you
all the best
