Woodgrain Birthday Card

Hello! I created this card for a blog challenge but I did not finish it on time. I did not want to put the supplies aside since most likely, I will forget to use it, and I hate putting supplies into waste. So I pursued finishing this card. I am very sure that it will come in handy one day.

I embossed the Ink Road Stamps Daisie Alpha on a My Mind's Eye wood patterned paper. I embossed this with Wow! Metallic Gold Rich Regular embossing powder. I colored the letters with Prismacolor color pencils. I fussy cut the letters leaving a small border around it.

I cut another 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" wood patterned paper. I die cut a rectangular window on this paper. I embossed a black card stock with a We R Memory Keepers Quilted Next Level embossing folder. I adhered this to the back of the window patterned paper. I adhered the embossed letters to this black embossed card stock.

To complete the sentiment, I stamped the word birthday on a wood tape using Stazon black ink and the Misti Stamping Tool. I re-stamped the sentiment three times and the Misti Stamping Tool is a big help in stamping the sentiment with precision. I die cut this sentiment into a strip using the Avery Elle    Elle-ments Simple Sentiments die. I adhered this to close to the window.

I matted this patterned paper lay-out on a kraft card stock, embossing it first with a Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles Die.

I adhered some sequins and stars. I added Nuvo Glitter Drops Golden Sunset to the stars, then set this aside to dry.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a SAFE, blessed, brilliant and creative day!
