| Bugaboo provided "Candy Jar" |
I am on a mission to build up my inventory of Birthday cards... March always wipes me out with about 12 - 15 birthdays. So when 613 Ave C offered an Anything Goes challenge pairing up with Bugaboo as a sponsor - "Candy Jar" became a perfect choice.
TECHNIQUE
[Note: specific information on supplies and sources will be found below under “Supplies”.]
- Started with an A2, left fold cut using CS with dual colors - [peach & white] and ran it thru an E-folder for the harlequin design. All corners were rounded.
- Used sandpaper to lightly sand the raised embossing revealing the white core of the paper.
- Focal digi image printed twice - one was used as the base & the other was colored with Copics, fussy cut, Sculpted and mounted on foam tape for elevation. The digi banner was handled in the same manner
- as above & then I doodled ties on each end to visually "attach" it to the background..
- Added elements include a punched tag with a sentiment tucked under the candy, a ribbon tied around the neck of the jar & three Candi colored with matching Copics mounted on foam tape down the lower right for balance.
- Inside features a punched birthday sentiment and a tag for my message.
This card should be eligible for the following
