Welcome to my new blogpost, another birthday card and this time it is for my granddad. He loves nature and I really liked to use this die, because the sentiment is Dutch and his English isn't that good, although Happy Birthday he will understand. Another male card and used nothing special for it.
I started with a precut piece of 15x15cm paper, it is about 6x6". I used the cadence spray to glue the stencil down, I thought this was the best solution, because it haves so many details and I didn't want to ruin the blending part. I was in a springvibe and used the colours squeezed lemonade, shabby shutters and salvaged patina. After blending and taking of the stencil I thought the white was to white and I used the colour left on the blending brushes to muted it more.
After blending I took the largest die of the Carlijn Design squares and cut it with my die cut machine. I used the shadow layer of the sentiment on vellum and die cut it. Next I placed the hiep hier hoera piece as straight and in the middle as I could on the cardstock and cut it, only maybe because my plates are a bit warped I needed to put it through twice back and forward to cut totally through. I picked a piece of tape and tried to pick out all the pieces on the right side so I could puzzle it back into again very easily, but everything went the way I didn't planned it so it took me a while. Also cut it from plain white cardstock to layer and decided to colour the outlines grey with my copic marker C3 to stand out the inners more. I layered the inner pieces on top for some dimension and glued it all on the vellum.
The hiep hiep hoera was glued on the vellum and I layered it with 3M scotch foamtape to add more dimension. First I folded the cardstock and glued the back on it, than I used glue on the back of the foamtape for some wiggle room and I fitted it in the whole. After that the card was already done. I was thinking about sequins, adding glossy accents, but it is for my granddad so I left it the way it is. I guess he will love it!
