Pastel Garden Birthday Cards

It’s November birthday card time!  This card features Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens stamps and Crystal White and Amethyst Purple Stardream 110# Cardstock.

I really enjoyed using the cardstock for ink blending – its surface softens the colors of the BOLD distress ink colors, and gives it a smooth, shimmery pastel look.

• Lawn Fawn Stamps

  • Gleeful Gardens

• First, I stamped the snails, grass, and flowers from Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens in Gina K Amalgam ink –  Obsidian.  I stamped the images on Neenah Solar White 110#.

• I colored the images using Copic Sketch Markers and die cut them.

• I cut the front panel of the card front Crystal White Stardream to 4”x 5.25” inches. 

• Using various distress inks (Candied Apple, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet) I color blended a rainbow block on the card front. 

• I used iCraft Purple Tape to block of the top inch and the lower portion of the card panel to make myself a straight line.

• I stamped the “happy birthday” sentiment from Lawn Fawn Party Animal in Versafine in black.

• I embossed the sentiment using WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder and heat set it.

• I adhered the card front panel to card base (standard A2 size) cut from Amethyst Purple Stardream 110# Cardstock.
