My husband, Hal, had a birthday the other day. He loves to play video games, so a birthday card with a gaming theme was the perfect choice.
Mini Tutorial on how to create this card:
1. 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Fresh Sage Card Stock ... score and fold the wider side at 4 1/4". This is the card base. Set aside.
2. 3 3/4" x 5" Whip Cream Card Stock for the layer.
Using a large dauber and dowel, shade the background.
Splatter on Bronze and Silver Silks.
Angle the piece of card stock and score every 1/2" using our Scoring Board. Then using your precision shears clip/notch the ends of the score marks. This will help hold the thread in place. I also put a notch in the other two ends for the final piece of thread.
Wrap the Fresh Sage Thread around the card securing each end.
Using White Liner Tape, secure the Whip Cream layer to your card base.
3. Stamp the game controller with River Stone Ink Pad.
Fussy cut out.
Attach to the Whip Cream layer with Foam Squares.
Put Journey Glaze over the top.
Set aside to dry completely.
4. Stamp the sentiment "Level Complete" with Chambray Shirt Ink.
Fussy cut the sentiment out.
Attach to the Whip Cream layer with Foam Squares
Brush the edges with Fresh Sage Ink Pad.
Put Journey Glaze over the top.
Set aside to dry completely.
5. Attach Sea Stones to the card front.
6. Stamp the sentiment inside the card "Happy Birthday" with Chambray Shirt Ink.
7. Write a personal note, sign the back of the card showing that you made it, and the card is complete.
NOTE: This is important ... be absolutely certain that your Journey Glaze is totally dry before putting this in an envelope. If not completely dry, the envelope will adhere to the wet areas. Don't ask me how I know!!!
