Winter Birthday Card

 Hello crafty friends!

It has been a few weeks since I wrote a new post but I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Christmas period.  Things are very hectic at Pink Peppermint HQ but I'm so grateful for my crafty outlet and this lovely, supportive community.

For today's card I have created a fun, wintery birthday card using some Pretty Pink Posh goodies (*).  The sets I have used today are Penguin Pals, Holiday Pals, Holiday Signs and Stitched Essentials 1 Dies.

I stamped out my images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on copic friendly card stock and coloured them in with copic markers:

Penguin - W4, W3, W1, W0, RV11, Y38

Presents - B97, B95, B93, B91

Trees - RV69, RV66, RV52, B21, B23, E47, E44, E43

For the card panel I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5.25" x 4" and blended on some Distress Ink in Chipped Sapphire, concentrating the colour in the centre of the card and fading the colour away towards the outer edges.

I white heat embossed the words happy, winter and birthday on to some navy card.  Each word was trimmed down to a small strip with a guillotine trimmer.

All of the images were adhered to the card panel.  Some trees were directly adhered with liquid adhesive and some of the trees, penguin and presents were adhered with dimensional foam tape.  Before securing the sentiments I watered down some white gauche and and flicked the whole card front with paint for a snowy scene.  The sentiments were adhered with liquid adhesive with the help of a T-square ruler to line them up straight.

Finally the whole panel was mounted on a navy panel measuring 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and secured on to an A2 side folding white card base.

With some of the left over images I created a cute tag to co-ordinate with my card.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Hope you have a great day x
