Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the congratulations card, you will need:

Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Full of Life dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2¾”

 

I glued the panel of Full of Life dsp to one of the 5½” by 3¾” pieces of Basic White card. This panel was then added to the Azure Afternoon card base.

The sentiment came from the Light the Sky stamp set. I only wanted the word ‘congratulations’ so masked off the rest of the sentiment with a Postit Note. I inked up the word using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it above the coloured images. The decorated rectangle was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Charming Sentiments stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder and used my Heat Tool to set it. I flagged the ends before adding it to the card front on Mini Glue Dots as I did not want to add anymore height to the card.
