A Bold Happy Birthday Card for JUGS 487 and TGIFC211…..

Hello All!

Happy Day after Mother’s Day…the real continuation of being a Mother!

I hope you had a great Day…my kiddos called…it was good to hear from them!

 

Today’s Card is for a combination of 2 Challenges!

A Trend Challenge from

Just Us Girls #487  (JUGS487)

Here is the Challenge Prompt…

I used a Bold and Beautiful ‘Birthday’ Greeting!

 

The second Challenge is from

TGIFC #211    (TGIFC211)

Here is the Challenge!

No Layers! Back to Basics! Love it!

 

Here is my Card!

I used my Aqua Painter, filled with alcohol, not water,

and So Saffron Ink (from the lid) to watercolor the cake!

I prefer using alcohol…it dries much faster, it doesn’t warp the card,

and I don’t have to use ‘Watercolor Paper’! Cool, Huh?

 

Here is the inside of my Card!

I used the markers straight onto the inside cake!

 

HERE ARE THE STOCK AND MEASURES:

CARDSTOCK:

Whisper White Thick- card base. 8.5″ x 5.5″ score @ 4.25″ fold in half on the score

Aqua Painter- filled with regular, household, rubbing alcohol, for ‘watercoloring’ the cake, on card front. I picked up the ink from the Stamp Pad’s lid, after squeezing it!

 

Here is a peek at the Card once again!

No Layers! Simple! Love it!

 

Until the next Post…Blessings and Back to Basics to you ALL!
