Have a Groovy Birthday

Hi everyone. At last things to seem to have cooled down a little. A lovely day, wonderful sunshine and much more comfortable as well. How about a great birthday card for today's post made with some of the Retro Collection. This would be great for a teenager, a bloke, well actually anyone really, a really fun card, looks totally different with other colours or embellishments. This one also uses the small set of rose petals to add the balloons.

You Will Need:
White Card Blank 5 1/2 x 7 3/4
Archival Forget Me Not
Archival Sunset
Versafine Black Ink
Black Fine Liner
Copic Alcohol Markers (Blue, Red & Yellow)
Glossy Accents
3D Glue Gel

Step 1: Use the single frames and solids to position and stamp onto your card blank. Start with the solid colour, then add the frames and words.

Step 2: Cut 3 of the rose petal dies, each in a different size, Colour with your alcohol markers.

Step 3: Stamp another of the large solids with the Archival, Then stamp 'Birthday'. Cut out and mount onto some Black Card.

Stamp 4:  Use 3D Glue Gel to position and add the last sentiment and the balloons. Use a black fine liner to add a wobbly line around the card, approximately 1/4'' in from the edge. The use the fine liner to add some strings to the balloons. To finish the card, add some glossy accents to the balloons to add a lovely gloss.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and the finished card. It's been great for you to join me. I hope you will stop by again very soon.xx
