Simple Mixed Media Birthday Card by Sara Cook

Hi everyone. I have a quick and simple mixed media look for the background, featuring the Magnolia Blooms 3D Embossing Folder.

Background:

Take a medium hue violet paper form the Vibrant Violet pad and add Ranger texture passed all over the back ground. Take darker matching foil sheet and adhere to the top of the paper. Let dry. Emboss using the Magnolia Blooms 3D Embossing Folder. Trim down to 4 x 5 1/4". Use sand paper and randomly rough the surfaces, being heavy handed on the higher surfaces. Lightly rub a white pigment ink pad on the top the image making sure the top surfaces are completely covered. Add white paint splatters. I use white calligraphy ink.

Sentiment:

Die cut the word birthday from the Happy Birthday Tender Script die set and the word wishes form the Best Wishes Tender Script die set. The bottom is die cut from white card stock and the top from the dark hue from the Vibrant Violet paper pad, twice. Adhere together.

Assembly:

Adhere the background panel to a side folding white card base. Adhere the sentiment to the center. Add some Clear Fairy Drops around the sentiment.
