Send birthday wishes with a layered slimline tri-fold of castle collages from the Summer Daydreams Collection. The collages are usually layered from small-to-large for a 3-D effect - they're stacked out of sequence here for a different look. Hello, Jean Okimoto here - hope you're enjoying your weekend!
Score 8-½" x 10-½" light gray cardstock at 3-½" and 7". Diecut Fantasy Castle Collage from the front of the first panel. Diecut Stone Keep Castle Collage from the backside of the second panel.
Cut three of the moat border from the Fantasy Castle Collage. Attach one to the front of the Fantasy Castle Collage - and another one behind the Fantasy Castle Collage for added support. The backside of the Fantasy Castle Collage panel is shown above. Trim the 3rd moat border and attach it to the front of the Stone Keep Castle Collage for added interest.
Cut the smoother side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper with the 4-⅛" tall Nested Globes die. Brush or sponge it with overlapping layers of Distress Oxides. Colors used here are squeezed lemonade, abandoned coral, kitsch flamingo and peacock feathers. Spray it with a light layer of Imagine's Frost Sheer Shimmer Spritz. Air-dry it for a few minutes, then heat-set it.
Cut Imperial Castle Collage from light gray cardstock and trim the bottom and sides. Attach it to the globe diecut.
Stamp the greetings from the Majestic Achievements Clear Stamp and Die Set - on the pink 6x6 sheet from the Berry Red Pack with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair. Cut them with the coordinating dies. Attach the birthday banner with foamtape.
Color 5 Clear Jewels with pink and orange Sharpie or Copic Markers and attach them to the card.

Oh my! That's an amazing die set. The watercolor in the background makes that card so beautiful and it's such a creative design. Thank you Jean! And happy birthday Impress!
