CottageCutz Birthday Blessings

Happy Mother's Day! 

I hope you are all having a wonderful Mother'sDay!  Today I have a birthday card to show you using the Oval Doily & Frame, Plumeria & Leaves and Garden Tabs CottageCutz Dies.

For my card, I started with a white card base and added a piece of green patterned paper to the upper portion.  I then embossed the front and wrapped a piece of ribbon around the card.  I cut the Oval Doily & Frame with white cardstock, stamped the sentiment on the smaller piece, and added it to the card base with pop dots. 

The Plumeria & Leaves and Garden Tabs were cut with white cardstock and colored with Persimmon and Aloe Vera Chalk Inks using makeup applicators.  I shaped the flowers and leaves and added lines on the flowers with a stylus.  I arranged these around the doily with glue and glue dots.

The bird is made using the Garden Tabs Die that I cut with white cardstock and colored with chalk inks.  I added this to the doily with pop dots.  Adhesive pearls were added along with a little glitter using Paper Glaze.  I then added a bow with a pearl brad for the center.

These are the dies I used.

 

Card recipe:

Stamps: Birthday Blessings (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Whisper White (SU), Solar White (Neenah), Fashionably Chic (Recollections)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Persimmon, Aloe Vera (VersaMagic Chalk Inks)
Accessories: Shell White Art Glitter, Aleene's Paper Glaze, make-up applicators, ribbon, pearl brad (Recollections), adhesive pearls (Want-2-Scrap), McGill Tool Kit & Mat, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (SU), black marker, white gel pen, Bow-Easy
