Welcome again to my guests - I apologise for another long gap in my blogging - the joys of family specifically, and life in general, getting in the way!!
This card was a really 'fun' one to make as it all went very smoothly - the layout was probably the most problematic part of it all.
I started the card by designing and printing out some 'Happy Birthday' dp on the computer. I did learn from this, and will off-set the words should I do this again.
Next I coloured the main part of the image (Crabby Cat by Bugaboo Stamps) with chalks, trying to give the cat the look of a ginger tabby. The dark glasses were coloured with a calligraphy pen, leaving the glint white, and the frames with a glitter pen.
I then mounted the two main layers onto a layer of bright orange card. Then came the fiddly bit while I sorted the layout. After mounting it all on the dark brown base, I added some bling and then carefully dotted some dimensional glue onto the lenses of the glasses.
