Birthday Wishes

Hello Everyone

Hope you are doing well. Since we are at the beginning of May, it's time for the start of the next challenge over at Love To Scrap. Boy the months are flying by aren't they!!!

The Love To Scrap challenge runs from May 1 - June15. So you have plenty of time to create a project and enter it. I'd love to see what your project looks like. Love to Scrap is a scrapping challenge blog welcoming all types of scrapped projects - cards, scrapbook layouts, ATCs, mixed media, altered items, 3-D projects, etc. - using bits of leftover items in your stash or new stuff!

Let me share with you the project I made for this challenge. 

I used a few scraps on this card. You don't have to use scraps, but since its really hard for me to ditch paper, my scrap drawers are filled to the brims. hahaha.(Bet yours are too)

My card is 5"X7" (the size I usually use)

I cut a heart out on the front of the card. I positioned the heart on its side for a different look. (Saved the hear for another project)

Next I used white glossy CS and applied alcohol ink covering the whole glossy sheet. (4 3/4"X 6 1/4"). I added silver mixative to add some additional interest. I attached the colored glossy sheet on the inside of the card front. The heart shape now shows that alcohol inked shape

Next I used some flowers - Hollyhock dies were used. I lightly dabbed ink onto the flowers. Next I cut and colored a leafy Branch die . The fence is Picket Fence from Poppy Stamps. I used the grass die from the Outdoor Edges to make the grass.

I glued the leaves and the flowers to the front of the card by the point of the heart.

Next I positioned the fence over the flowers and put 1 flower sprig in front of the fence. The fence is nestled between 2 slayers of grass. 

Adding the sentiment finished the card.
