Chicken Wire meets Lovely Words

Here are 2 cards I made a few weeks ago. They're for friends of mine who both have birthdays this month so I wanted to do them something bright and cheerful, but nice and feminine. 

Mind you the day I made them back in February was a lovely day and the sun was shining  for most of it.


With the one on the right I had dropped a bit of a clanger, as it turns out for Jean this was a  bit of a biggy and I needed very quickly to add a couple of numbers to it but didn't have the time to photograph it.



To recreate this card follow the guide below:
® = retired, (sab) = Sale-A-Bration, (H) = Hostess, (nsu) = not stampin’ up, (ss) = Stamp set, DSP = designer series paper, CS = Card Stock

Start with a base card of Thick Whisper White (cs) measuring 15 x 21cm scored at 10.5cm.

For the first layer use a backing of Watercolor Wonder ® DSP measuring 15 x 10.5  and then adhere the Chicken Wire ® on top. (this creates the first mat).
Using Whisper White (cs) stamp the Happy Birthday from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous (ss) in Lemon Lime Twist making sure you have enough room to die cut it.
Using Silver Foil backed with some adhesive sheeting die cut the Friend from the Lovely Words ® thinlits and at the same time die cut the following pieces, the stamped Happy Birthday using the 2nd smallest circle die from the Stitched Shapes framelits and the spray of flowers from the Stitched Seasons ® framelits in Lemon Lime Twist.
Now die cut the spray of flowers again from the Stitched Seasons ® framelits in Calypso Coral and cutting off the flower and buds adhere them to the Lemon Lime Twist spray of flowers and add a Basic Rhinestone to the middle of the full flower.
Adhere the Happy Birthday circle using liquid glue to a Pearlised Doily ®  and using Dimensional pads place onto the card where you wish it to be and adhere the spray of flowers.
Using the (sab) Organdy ribbon make a bow, add a glue dot to the back of it and place it where you want it.
Now adhere the sentiment Friend.


Will be back again soon with more cards
