Birthday Shopping

Hello, everyone! June has arrived and summer is almost here, although we've had summer weather in my neighborhood for the last week...hot and humid. And the first week's challenge in June has arrived at The Outlawz....."anything goes" with an optional twist to make your project feminine. Now, we all know and believe that "shopping" is a female thing, so I decided to make this card for our Design Team inspiration display.

This is a tall card...the white base card measures 7.75 inches long and 5 inches wide. To the base I added a layer of Swiss dotted patterned paper in grape. I put this aside while I worked on my focal image.

The image is a Bestie's digital stamp which I colored with Copic markers and then cut it with Spellbinders Labels Thirty Six. Before removing it from the die, I sponged the edges with Memento Lulu Lavender ink.

Using Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25, I die cut a panel in white card stock and matted it with GKD Lovely Lavender. This was then popped onto my base card with dimensionals. At this point I adhered my focal image to this panel, also with dimensionals.

To complete the card I composed a sentiment on my computer, cut it with a smaller die from Spellbinders Labels Thirty Six and popped it in the upper left corner of my card. I topped my sentiment with a bow using designer paper from Dovecraft and die cut with Sue Wilson's Classic 3D Bows.

I hope you enjoyed this post and that it inspired you to create. Take time out of your day to do something you enjoy ...be it cooking, crocheting, card making, etc. It's great therapy!
