My youngest grand daughter is having a birthday this week!! I chose some of the same art that I used on her cousin's birthday card - the watercoloured Grimm's Fairy Tales!! This piece was round so I layered it onto white and then onto dark blue (Nestibilities). I stamped the greeting on a yellow layer using dark blue ink, punched the bottom edge with a scallop border punch (SU) and then embossed it using the Swiss Dots embossing folder (CB) avoiding the greeting. I used a hammer to selectively emboss the area around the greeting. I added iridescent glitter glue to the scallops on the yellow layer as well as those on the scallop circle and let them dry. Once dry, I added a length of dark blue vintage seam binding on the right hand side of the yellow layer using double sided tape to secure both ends to the back of the layer. I tied a short piece to the front and trimmed both ends diagonally. The look of a bow without the bulk!! I glued the yellow layer to my dark blue card front and then added my layered focal element above the greeting and over the seam binding. Really turned out well!!
