Happy Birthday Little Princesses
I am so happy to join this r celebration
and talented line-up of friends
with this fantastically colorful
and cheery
"It's a Rainbow Party"
Blog Hop!
We were all given this image of a
Slew of Rainbows and Festive Birthday Fun
to get our creative MOJO flowing.
How can you not want to create
when you see this???
I actually had a ton of ideas
rush through my mind
and even waited until the last
minute to make my project.
I finally decided on
some Glittery Rosettes
and Fun Rainbow colored buttons.
I started with white card stock for the base.
Then I cut a few strips (1"x12") out of different colors
of card stock (solid and Glitter Couture by Core'dinations).
The star borders were created from the strips by using
a fun ekSuccess American Girl Star Border Punch.
To make adhering them
to the card more easy, I ran them through my
Xyron 1/2" Sticker Maker.
The rosettes were created by
scoring my 12" strips every 1/4"
on my Scorpal.
I adhered some buttons on the center of each rosette with my glue gun.
For the sentiment: I used a stamp from my own Unity Grab Bag
and inked it with Tim Holtz - Black Soot onto white cardstock.
I used a 2" circle punch to cut around the sentiment.
I traced around the perimeter of the circle using my Zip Glue Pen
then in a circular wheel motion, ran the edge
of the circle through some
into Martha Stewart Glitter (tourmaline/pink).
The misting was done using my handmade glimmer mist in a Mini Mister
Handmade Glimmer Mist
2 parts water
1 part Perfect Pearls (liquid)
2 drops Vermillion re-inker,
3-4 drops FolkArt Acrylic paint (pink)
I cut a second circle to add behind the sentiment.
I adhered them together with some 3D foam square adhesive.
I raised both up from the card using another layer of foam squares.
I adhered more buttons around the
circular sentiment
in a rainbow color pattern using some
Glue Dots.
For the inside of the card
I used all left over coordinating
colors of card stock from my stash
and randomly placed them
until I liked how it looked.
