METHOD:
1. Apply patches of distress ink onto white card in Wilted Violet, Spun Sugar, Fossilized Amber and Peacock Feathers. Blend Chipped Sapphire around the edges and into the centre, then flick a little water onto the card and leave to dry.
2. Emboss the panel using a Shimmering Stars embossing folder, then trim to 11cm x 14cm and gently rub the stars with a nail file. Add distress inks to the stars and flick white paint over the top using a Posca paint marker pen. Leave to dry.
3. Trim vellum to 6cm x 13cm and die cut a rounded scalloped edge from the top. Fold the sides around the bottom of the embossed panel, then fix to an 11.5cm x 14.5cm blank. Stamp and heat emboss ‘Hooray! It’s your birthday’ using gold embossing powder.
4. Print a bear and planets onto white card, then colour in with marker pens and secure to the card front using 3D foam pads. Apply Glossy Accents to the bear’s helmet and add sparkly sequins to finish.
