To create this card, I began by die-cutting various elements from blue and neutral craft cardstock. The background was stenciled using the Cascading Stars Stencil and Distress Inks in Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Sapphire, creating a stunning gradient effect. I assembled an adorable dog using the Dog Holder Dies. The Birthday Holder Additions Dies contributed a charming cupcake and candle, while the Streamer Dies added a party flair. The “wish” sentiment was die-cut from sparkly silver cardstock with a blue drop shadow, and “make a” was stamped onto a sentiment strip.
Layering was key to this design. I adhered the stenciled background to a dark blue stitched torn rectangle, then added the streamers, ensuring they aligned with the wonky stitched rectangle. To add a touch of shine, I splattered Faded Jeans Distress Spritz onto the background. The dog and cupcake were popped up with foam adhesive for dimension. I adorned the card with Blue Shimmer Confetti, strategically placed to cover any accidental smudges.
I’m absolutely in love with the tone-on-tone look and the playful pup that takes center stage!
