It's Your Birthday... Let's Celebrate Dog having fun A6 gatefold card

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card is a gatefold card which I have made using a mix of dies, stamps and stencils....



How I made this card:-
  • I first of all took the kriss-kross part of the Thirsty Brush Stencil (it doesn't have a name but is in the one that has Bistro and Paris included in the pattern).
  • I then coloured through it using the Clear Skies ink pad from Simon Hurley Ranger collection on either side of the gatefold (I used a blending tool to do this). I love this bright blue - it is so much fun!
  • There was a gap on either side of the design  so I decided to use some foil to decorate it. I therefore used red liner tape (medium width) down the edge of the fold and placed black foil over it and burnished it until there were no glue showing.
  • I had had the oval frame cut out from an old Create & Craft die in black card and decided to use it for this,so added some glue/tape to the left hand side of it and stuck it to the left gatefold in the middle (making sure that there was no glue to stick it to the back of the card).
  • I cut out the dog from the Flights,Fancy and Fun Tattered Lace set of dies in cream card and stuck it to the middle of the frame with a PVA glue.
  • I decided to make this a Birthday card and the two sentiments and  the large banner stamp from Hunkydory's For the Love of Stamps Birthday Wishes set fitted the bill perfectly!
  • So I stamped the banner out twice on to white stamping card using Gina K Black ink and then stamped the It's Your Birthday and Let's Celebrate inside them. I must admit that I should have used a stamping platform to get the position just right as I can see it is slightly wonky!
  • I then trimmed around the banners, edged them with a black alcohol marker and stuck the Birthday banner to the left hand and the Celebrate one on to the right hand side using a tape pen.
  • Finally, I used a white gel pen to add some highlights to the dots in the frame.
