Birthdays are Good for You Quick and Easy Card created for Chocolate Baroque

Good morning. This is one of my quick and easy samples created for Chocolate Baroque. You can make it in around 15 minutes.

Materials:

• Lily and Birthday Words stamp sets
• 13cm card blank, white stamping card
• StazOn Inkpad (Jet Black), Versafine (Onyx Black)
• Sparkle pens (green and red)
• Alcohol marker (black)
• (Pencil)

How to make it:

1. Stamp the background card randomly with black ink. Note: I used StazOn as my card blank was shiny (if you are using mat card then Versafine will be ok).
2. Trim the stamping card to fit the front leaving a border and edge with black pen. Draw a circle lightly in pencil and divide into quarters. Stamp using 3 small stamps on the block at the same time and Versafine, turning the card between stamping and stamping into each corner to create a wreath design. Tip: Lay your stamps onto the card placing them around your drawn circle and then pick them up onto your acrylic block. A gridded acrylic block will help you to line up while repeat stamping. Note: This can also be done with a stamping gear if you have one, or using a stamp platform, turning the card 90 degrees between each stamping. Do a quick practice on copy paper to get the placement. You need to leave enough space for the sentiment in the middle. This sounds complicate but it really is easy – honest.
3. Stamp the sentiment with Versafine and colour the images with sparkle pens. Glue to the card front.
