21st Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! Sorry I meant to put this one on at the end of January.


A while ago I blog about learning a new card making technique called diamond .
After learning and practising the technique, I could not wait to make one for a family member or friend.

At the beginning of the year I started to plan my brother's birthday card.   I knew I was going to do the diamond effect and because it was my brother's 21st, I was going to put a 21 on there......

I had some blue card stock so I folded the card to match the template (I had made before) and popped that to one side. Then I got some pattren paper out and cutter out one square a bit smaller than the top part of the card and the strip for the base of the card. I then stuck the paper onto the card. I thought it was a bit too jazzy, so I found a small blue square of card and a smaller pattern square and stuck the card and paper on. The pattern paper I used was gift paper from the card factory.

I then got out my sliver shiney card and drawen to lines with a grap between. Then  I drawen the words ' Happy Birthday' and cut them out. I just wished I could get my letter prefect.


One of the last thing's I needed to do was the 21. So I got out some gorgeous gold glitter card I bought for Christmas and drawed a 21. Then I cut out the 21 and stuck both the 'Happy Birthday' and the 21 onto the card.

Find picture's below!!!



P.s: Please let me know what you think?

Woof!

A little while ago I learnt a 'new' card making technique or sure I
say a 'new' design the Diamond cards
from 'Let's Make Cards' - Magazine issue 45
(one of the christmas issues)



But it is only til tonight that I have properly had a go.
While sat with my cup of tea and watching Countryfile.
I set to work, at first I werent sure if it was going to work out right.
But I got there in the end. I ended up making a template.
So I can re-use it over and over again!




While making the template I decided on my theme.
I went for the doggie theme!
But I do not feel like I have finished the card yet.
Feel like some think might be missing from it.
I wonder what it could be!
