Black & Gold Floral Birthday

 

 Hello fellow crafters! I received a request for a 45th birthday card and the favorite colors of the recipient were black and gold. Here is the end result.

I began by creating the flowers using a Heartfelt Creations die with which I cut 4 floral images and then layered them to create 2 flowers, one large and one small.  These were cut in black card stock and then embossed with gold EP. The swirls were die cut in gold mirror card stock using Marianne Creatables dies. The sentiment was computer generated on white card stock and then die cut using an oval Hero Arts die. The "45" which was die cut in gold mirror card stock using a Paper Rose die was added to the sentiment. The prepared sentiment was then adhered to a Spellbinders oval die which was die cut in gold mirror card stock.Having created all the images and the sentiment, these were adhered to a black card stock panel and matted with gold mirror card stock and then adhered to a white base card. This completed my project.

 

 Here are the products/materials used in this project:

Card Stock:  GKD Pure Luxury White, Black; Gold Mirror Paper

Dies:  Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur;  Marianne Creatables Anja's Vintage Swirls, Rectangle Frame & Flourish; Paper Rose Mini Alphabet & Numbers; Spellbinders Elliptical Ovals; Hero Arts Infinity Ovals

Sweet 16 Birthday

 

 

Hello, crafters! I received a request to create a birthday card for a 16 year old young lady. Hence, this was the result.

The young lady's favorite colors were pink and gold so I attempted to include those colors in my design. My first step was to create the blue jean image. I didn't have a specific die to make blue jeans so I used a template I found on line and cut them out in denim digital paper. I wanted them to look realistic so I added a LEVI"s logo and tag using images I found on line and adjusted these in size.

Next, I die cut 3 balloons in pink card stock, added strings and a golden bow die cut with which to tie the strings. The "16" was then adhered to the balloons in gold mirror card stock.The "sweet" was die cut in gold mirror paper. I added a pink label with the young lady's name, also in gold mirror card stock. All images were positioned and adhered with dimensionals except for the "16" and "Lauren".

The white swirly background was from an embossing folder which was layered on pink card stock. I added another layer in denim and this was all adhered to a white card base. This completed my project.

 

Here are the materials used:

Card Stock:  GKD White, Dusty Rose, denim (digital paper),  gold mirror paper.

Dies: DIY Scrapbooking Nested Scalloped Rectangle Frame, Sue Wilson Scalloped Squares,  Poppy Stamps Pinpoint Balloons, Paper Rose Mini Alphabet and Numbers; Scrapbook.com Berry Sweet, Senhai 3 pc Princess Dress (for the bow), Rubbernecker Flower Buds

Other: Altenew Dotty Circles EF, adhesives, dimensionals
