Happy Birthday Amber!......




I've made this shape of card before but never posted it because it was for a workshop. That particular card was cut with original bug owners in mind but I made this one using the Expression- and it's JUMBO, people!! The card was made for the youngest daughter of some very good friends of ours who was 16 yesterday.I cut it at 7 3/4" twice (Shadow/blackout) and adhered the two pieces together down the left hand side (you can see this clearly in the second photo). I cut another phone shape in green polka dot paper (DCWV) and covered the base card with it. A phone (layer) cut from floral paper (DCWV) was adhered over a silver mirri base cut and a screen cut from more mirri was adhered to the floral paper. I punched a hole with a Cropodile in the top left corner of the phone and inserted an eyelet. Assorted beads and a handbag charm were threaded onto a piece of fine silver cord, threaded through the eyelet and secured at the back. The phone was then adhered to the card front with foam tape. Black letter stickers ( yes.. I know!) were applied to the screen to spell 'Happy Birthday!' and number stickers were applied to the key pads. I cut 'Amber' from glitter card with a silver mirri shadow and adhered the letters at an angle across the card front with foam pads. A layered bloom and a flower-shaped gem complete the card.
Carts used:
