A Birthday Paradise card

I am loving the new Planted Paradise stamp set which will be available from the 4th January 2024 when the January – April Mini Catalogue launches. I have used it to make a monochromatic birthday card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the birthday paradise card, you will need:

Parakeet Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3½” by 1½”
Shaded Spruce card – 3¾” by ⅜” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using a T square ruler, I marked off a strip 1½” wide near the top of the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card using a pencil. This would act as a guide when I began stamping.

I began by stamping the trio of leaves image in Garden Green ink, above the top pencil line and below the bottom pencil line.

The other leaves were added one at a time, starting with the largest and working down to the smallest. Each leaf was stamped in a different shade of green. I used Lemon Lime Twist, Parakeet Party, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Old Olive, Shaded Spruce & Mossy Meadow. The pencil lines were then erased.

The stamped panel was glued to the Shaded Spruce layer and then to the Parakeet Party card front.

The sentiment, from the Phrases For All stamp set was inked up – HAPPY with Parakeet Party and BIRTHDAY with Shaded Spruce ink. This was stamped onto the 3½” by 1½” piece of Basic White card. I glued the thin strips of Shaded Spruce card to the sentiment panel. The whole piece was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

A scattering of Iridescent discs completed the card.

I placed the sentiment strip onto the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and lightly due a line in pencil on both sides. The sentiment panel was then set on one side. This gives a guideline for stamping my images.

The outline of the large spray of flowers was stamped in Pebbled Path ink, taking care to keep the bottom of the image inside the pencil lines. I stamped it again using the same ink. I then stamped the outline flower head a couple of times using the same ink.
