50th Birthday Card

 Hello and welcome to my blog, today I would like to share with you a 50th Birthday card I've made. This was a really fun and girlie card to make.

I would like to enter this card into thee following challenges:

And here is my card, all details and products used are below:

• To make this card I have first started with a white 8''x8'' scalloped card base. I have matted and layered a pink mirror and patterned card stock together.
• Next I have used my circle dies, first to cut the white background circle, then used two circle dies together to create the pink frame. With the white piece I have run this through my die cutting machine with a 3D embossing folder, then layered the frame over the top securing it with wet glue.
• I have die cut a Happy Birthday sentiment with white cardstock border and the number 50 in the pink.
• To create my flowers, I have first stamped the flowers in various sizes onto pink mirror card and also onto vellum, I have heat embossed these using a white superfine embossing powder, and fussy cut them and shaped them with my tool. I then layered them together securing in place with some 3D gel and placing a jewel in the centres.
• For the foliage I have stamped and heat embossed with white superfine embossing powder onto acetate, I added some glitter accents and fussy cut them out.
• Once I had all the elements to my card complete, I started to construct the card layout. I used the two mat layers and wrapped some ribbon around the top and glued directly to the base card with wet glue, I then added my sentiments to the circle topper piece and layered onto the card with some foam pads. Around the centre piece I have arranged my flowers and foliage, gluing them with some 3D gel. For some finishing touches I added a bow to my ribbon and some jewels to the edges of the card.
