METHOD:
1. Create a top-folding white blank, 11cm x 14cm. Blend blue, green, yellow and orange distress oxide inks from the top-left corner to the bottom-right to create a rainbow effect. Flick with water and leave to dry.
2. Trim three sections of white card to 2.5cm x 14cm. Use a scallop-edged punch along one edge of two pieces. Fix all three strips to the card front with 3D foam pads, ensuring the scallop-edged sections are at the top and bottom.
3. Die cut ‘Happy’ from green card, ‘Birthday’ from blue and ‘To you’ from yellow. Adhere the ‘Birthday’ sentiment to the middle white strip, and the remaining two above and below.
4. Stamp your animals, along with their corresponding paws. Colour in with marker pens, shading around the edges. Die cut the animals using the corresponding dies. Secure the sloth in the top-right and the panda in the bottom-left with 3D foam pads. Fix the paws below them, then add three gold star sequins to finish.
