Cardstock Sizes:
11" x 4 1/4" Crumb Cake
2" x 4 1/4" DSP
3" x 4 1/4" Watercolor Paper
2 3/4" x 3 1/2" Whisper White
Old Olive scraps for (3) leaves
coordinating cardstock scraps fort (2) flower stem
Score the 11" x 4 1/4" Crumb Cake cardstock at 5 1/2" and burnish your scores.
Stamp the Happy Birthday image onto the Crumb Cake card front making two lines of continuous words using VersaMark on the top and bottom edges. Leave room for the 2" wide DSP to be glued down without covering the Happy Birthday images.
Glue down the coordinating 2" x 4 1/4" DSP to the center of the card front.
Wrap the Whisper White Bakers Twine around the center of the DSP 3 times and tie a knot on the right side of the card front, leaving enough room to make a bow. Cut two more pieces of the bakers twine long enough to make a bow and lay them down with the piece you tied a knot in and make a bow using all three pieces of bakers twine.
Fill your Aqua Painter with water. Now squeeze a little water onto the brush and brush it onto the 3" x 4 1/4" Watercolor Paper making sure you don't flood the paper. Place a couple of drops of the coordinating color of re-inker onto an acrylic block and add a couple of drops of water and mix it up with the Aqua Painter. Now color your background on the watercolor paper and once you are happy with it, dab off the excess with a paper towel and let dry completely.
Stamp the cake image on the 2 3/4" x 3 1/2" Whisper White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and color the image with your Stampin' Blends.
Cut out the cake image using the coordinating die. Cut out (3) leaves in Old Olive, and (2) flower stems in the coordinating color of cardstock.
Glue one leave and one flower stem to the back on the left side of the cake image, then glue two leaves and one flower stem to the back, right side. Adhere the completed cake image to the watercolor background using dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink to the bottom righthand edge of the watercolor layer.
Adhere the watercolored layer to the center of the cardbase using dimensionals.
