Instructions

1. Cut base card down to 5 3/4” high.

2. Cut black cardstock to 4” x 5 ½””. Cut white cardstock to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼”.

3. On white cardstock, mask off about 1/2cm all around the edge of the cardstock and line up the Tiny Dots stencil. Ink blend Distress Oxides to colour the whole piece – Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Mermaid Lagoon & Wilted Violet

4. Die cut the medium sized Cross Stitched Scallop Circle from another piece of white cardstock. Die cut the ‘Happy Birthday’ from the Cut-a-Part Sheet with the Fussy Cut Circle die.

5. Line up the Cut-a-Part Essentials #2 stamp in a stamp positioning tool and ink with black ink. Stamp onto a piece of white cardstock and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Die cut with the matching Cut-a-Part Essentials #5 die.

6. Colour the stamped images with the colouring medium of your choice – I used Copic markers. Die cut with the matching fussy cutting dies.

7. Assemble the card by adhering your background piece onto black cardstock, and then onto the card base. Arrange the die cut circle and sentiment circle as per the image. Adhere the sheep, balloon and long sentiment strip with foam mounts and add some Sunshine Pearls to complete the card.
