Special Window birthday with Pals Paper Arts Colours#313

The new in colours are so pretty and the colour challenge at PPA this week is just perfect for a special birthday card I need for today.

I have made another magic window card and will post a tutorial with the CASEing the Catty card this Sunday (August 14). I have made lots of these in the past and you can see some more samples here.

The card is closed with a belly band and as you open the card the sliding mechanism opens to reveal the message in the window.

Detail of the cluster on the belly band.

As you open the gate fold

The little cluster of flowers is made using swirly bird, and the leaf spray is fussy cut from the DSP sheet from the Fruit Stand collection.

The sliding mechanism slowly opening.
I coloured the White glimmer paper numbers using a sponge dauber and the Flirty Flamingo ink. The numbers are cut using the now retired Bigz Die and worked well for this card as they are much finer than the big numbers framelits- and 50 years deserves pink champagne don't you think?

Thanks for looking today,
Remember to check back tomorrow for the tutorial, this one is 4 x4 inches and has a matching envelope.

thanks for looking,

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
