Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Hello Fabulous Birthday Card using Fedora By Krista Smith Stamps. I was commissioned to create a custom birthday card for a friend’s daughter.
The Details of My Hello Fabulous Birthday Card
My friend mentioned a few things to help guide me in my design such as her daughter’s favourite colour is purple and that she is into fashion. So, for my card, I went through my Krista Smith Stamps and Fedora was the one that was chosen by my friend! I knew Krista would have a stamp that would suit the daughter’s style perfectly!
So, I coloured the stamp with my Copic markers in purples and blacks to suit the daughter’s taste. I added a pop of colour with the green feather on the fedora. Next, I added some Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the feather and smooshed it with my finger before it dried to give the feather a soft shimmer. Gold Gelly Roll Pen was used on her earring to add some sparkle and White Gelly Roll Pen was dotted on her bottom lip to indicate the shine of lip gloss.
The Design Aspects of My Card
Once she was coloured, I discovered that the Best Dressed DSP was perfect for my colours and theme. I used the shoes DSP on one layer, the perfume DSP on the next layer and the handbags DSP within the frame. The DSP even had purple roses to match my single purple flower embellishment.
Next, I knew that I wanted to add a frame around her, and I thought the Oval Coronet Dies by Spellbinders was very elegant. I thought it would be fun having her popping out of the white frame with the handbags behind her.
For my sentiment cluster, I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss and die cut it out. I added a Blackberry Bliss scallop edge to the bottom of the sentiment. Then, I added a green feather to mirror the feather in her fedora and a purple rose. Finally, I fussy cut a perfume bottle from the DSP and tucked it behind the sentiment.
To add some texture and interest, I added some black netting that I bought at a local fabric store. I thought it really added to the fashion theme of my card!
Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of rhinestones for some sparkle, especially since you need sparkle on a birthday card!
