Belated Birthday Wishes (card created by Elaine) - 05/20/2024

Take a piece of white stamping card measuring 5 x 7’ and stamp the image on the left side using the Midnight Ink. Leave space on the right for the ribbon. 

Stamp the canopy onto a piece of purple paper from the Magical Elegance paper pad, cut out and adhere in place on your stamped image. 

Using your blending brush, apply a small amount of Surfboard on the background to represent sky. Then the same with the Tea Dye Distress Ink along the bottom area, under the Cafe. 

Adhere the image to a piece of black card measuring 5 1/4 x 7 1/4’ .

Take a length of purple ribbon and tie a bow on the right side of the stamped image.

Adhere the image to the front of the card blank using foam pads.

Using the dies as a guide, cut ONE drop from the Typewriter washi roll. Lift up the backing sheet along one end of the tape and adhere across the top of an A4 sheet of white card. Slowly peel away the backing, as you use your hand to smooth the washi tape down on to the card. Once the backing has been fully removed, you can burnish the washi to ensure there are no air bubbles or creases.

Line up the first die and secure with low tack tape before running it through your machine. 

Line up the second die and run it through your machine. 

Pop out all the sentiments, pick out the one you are using for this project and keep the rest in a tub for future projects.

Lastly, add your chosen washi sentiment to the bottom left corner of the card.
