April 09, 2024
Today we're Creating a Handmade Birthday Card with Magnolia Mood Bundle & a Designer Paper Trick. This gorgeous stamp & die set are quite easy to make stunning cards along with a fun trick with the designer paper.
This is the set we are using today..
Today's birthday card...
closer look...
I wanted a lovely rich background without much detail showing for the background...the Berry Burst sheet in the Masterfully Made DSP buwas close but I didn't like the white tear marks ---so, here's the trick to get rid of the white tear marks. Using a blending brush & the Berry Burst ink I "brushed" away the white image in the paper...this also deepened the Berry color.
The designer paper was then cut on a slight angle & layered over white cardstock that is embossed with the Timeworn Type folder.....then using the same blending brush (but not re-inking) I lightly brushed over the white embossing to tone down the white glare a& provide a soft pink background coordinating perfectly with the berry DSP.
A bit of sparkle was added with the bud stem die cuts from White Glimmer paper & 3 rhinestones.
I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.
