Festive Birthday card with Candice

Hello! Candice back with you today sharing a very festive birthday card with you!

I used a variety of companies all found in the Crafty Meraki store:

• Waffle Flower Hola stamps & coordinating dies
• Pink Fresh Studio Fancy Diagonal Stripes die
• Sunny Studio stamps Stitched Semi-Circle dies
• Distress Oxide inks: carved pumpkin, dried marigold, antique linen,
• cracked pistachio & peacock feathers

I began my card with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base that fits perfectly into your standard size envelopes.

For my background, I first inked a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock with carved pumpkin, dried marigold and antique linen and then die cut it out with the striped panel. I then die cut 2 semi circles and inked each of them with cracked pistachio and peacock feathers and glued to the card front.

Next, I stamped all the festive images from the Hola stamp set, colored them with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I adhered them to the card front either with glue or foam tape to add depth.

I finished by simply stamping the sentiment in versafine black ink in one of the semi circles!

I thank you so much for stopping by!
