Perfectly Penciled Hand Coloured Happy Birthday Card. Stampin Bird's Showcase Blog Hop July 2022

Good Morning Everyone

Happy Saturday! Hope you have some great plans for the day! We have a day mixed with jobs, shopping and play so I'm hoping we can get those boring jobs out of the way sharpish so that we can enjoy the rest of the day!

As it's the last Saturday of the Month, it's time for the Stampin Birds Blog Hop.

I have created a simple card today using the Perfectly Penciled DSP and some background detail from the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder. The Colouring was done with our Watercolour pencils, and gives a great effect.

Measurements

Thick Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/8"

Perfectly Penciled DSP

1pc - large fussy cut flower

----------------------------------

Fold the piece of thick basic white along the score line to create you card base.

Take the Basic White card stock and place into your Quatre Foil embossing folder and run through your Cut and Emboss Machine.

Stamp the sentiment onto a strip of basic white with memento ink.

Colour in the fussy cut flower image front he DSP with a selection of your watercolour pencils.

Add the flower to the embossed panel. This particular image didn't fit on fully so |I positioned it where I wanted it and then trimmed off any over hanging pieces.

Place the sentiment onto the card in some of the blank space, trim if needed.

Add this panel to the card front and job is done!! It's a really simple design and quick to create, but the image and embossing folder really add some pretty detailing

I hope you have enjoyed my card today, please continue through the hop and check out what the rest of the Birds have created. Donna is up next....
