Making the card
Using the Crafters Companion Oriental set 1 CD, print the 'oriental symbols ' background paper in blue.
Cut a 15cm x 15cm piece of oriental paper. Adhere to the base card using double-sided tape.
|
 |
|
Cut a 15cm x 7.5cm piece of deep pink card. Adhere horizontally to the middle of the covered base card.
|
 |
|
Emboss a 15cm x 6.5cm piece of white card using daises texture plate & the Bigshot. Adhere the embossed white card to the middle of the pink card.
|
 |
|
Again using the daises texture plate, emboss a 15cm x 5cm piece of blue card.
Lightly sand the blue embossed card with a nail file to reveal the white core.
|
 |
|
Adhere the embossed blue card down the left side of the card, leaving approximately 5mm gap from the left.
|
 |
|
Using either sticky pads or silicone glue build up Kimono lady decoupage (paper nations decoupage is great for beginners as the pieces are numbered & easy to follow. There are 4 layers to this design, cut out complete lady (layer 1). Cut out layer 2 and glue it over the top of layer 1 using either sticky pads or silicon glue. Repeat this process for layers 3 and 4. If you've used silicone glue leave it to dry.)
|
 |
|
Adhere Kimono Lady to blue embossed card.
|
 |
|
Using Wingo Zingo Alphabet Decorative strip die (For use in a Sidekick requires 13' cutting pads; use in a Bigshot/Bigkick requires Extended spacer platform & 13' cutting pads) cut 'Happy Birthday' from blue card.
Using Sakura Quickie glue pen & tweezers adhere Happy Birthday to the centre of the white card.
|
 |
|
Cut out the fans from the Paper Nations Kimono Lady sheet & adhere (using either sticky pads or silicone glue) to the top right corner of the card.
