I like to make my birthday cards using a particular interest or hobby the recipient may have in order to make the card more personal. I made this card for my sister-in-law. She loves to garden. And her birthday is in June. So rather than the traditional "Happy Birthday" card, I used a hobby she loves (gardening) as a reminder to "celebrate" the things she loves about her life.
Card Details:
I don't know the name of the papers used. I've had them for a while.
I printed the "seed packets" and colored them with colored pencils and markers.
I used a metal name for the word "celebrate" and painted it with green then brown paint for the Petina appearance. Then I used clear embossing powder and heated it for raised clear look.
The "dirt" is brown paper with a faint grid pattern. Torn and chalked. Then I used small pop dots and layered it for depth.
I used a flower punch for the clouds and adhered two together to make the shape of the larger one. Then colored them using chalk and blender pen.
