Instructions:
-
Score your card base at 5-1/2
-
Cut your layer paper 3-1/2 by 5-1/2 (This is the white paper you see on my card)
-
Take your fiskers border punch and punch about 6 inches long (gives you room to cut off the edges of the layer)
-
Attach the border punch to the side of the layer using adhesive
-
Put your layer paper down with your border on the side down to your card base, Make sure its all even around all four edges!
-
Stamp with black ink your Candles stamp, Then Color with your choice of marker/Colored Pencils
-
Stamp the happy Birthday with embossing ink, Then take the embossing powder over it. It's nice to have a scratch paper for all the excess Embossing powder to go.
-
I cut a banner out of the paper pack with a par of scissors, You can do the same or if you don't have to paper pack get creative! I'm sure theres something in your craft room that will work
- Take your Jell Pen and make tick lines around the edges of the card base, Its a great affect to really pull the card together!
