Birthday card featuring a digital image of leaves, a sanded embossed layer and a laser printed greeting
I modified a card kit from the January card class to make this card. It had a heart as an embellishment which did work really well for the cards I was making for my friend so I changed things up a bit. I used the gray card and the purple embossed and sanded layer. I chose this leafy garland image (Anne's Cards4U) from my image stash and trimmed it down some before watercolouring it. I layered a piece of yellow cardstock on the left hand side and then added a green strip next to it which spanned the width of the card. I trimmed it even with the background at the top and flagged the bottom edge. I adhered this layer to the background leaving the lower part of the strip free as I wanted to tuck my little laser printed greeting under it. I flagged the end of the greeting and tucked it under the strip and then glued down all the pieces. I adhered this large element to the front of my gray card!! I thought that my image needed a bit of something so I added little bits of clear glitter with a gel marker on the leaves and most of the dots. That was better!! Therese
