Magical Birthday Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Magical Birthday Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using three different stamps that include Fairytale Cottage Background Scene, Tricycle Gnome and Sentiment Bundle PNG and Dandelion Wishes for the sentiment.

I decided to use a different sentiment than what comes in the Tricycle Gnome and Sentiment Bundle PNG. It does come with 11 images including a birthday sentiment, but I needed a larger sentiment for my card. The Bundle comes with:

• Tricycle Gnome PNG
• Tricycle Gnome – Double Heart Balloons PNG
• Tricycle Gnome- Double Round Balloons PNG
• Tricycle Gnome – Single Balloon PNG
• Heart Balloon PNG
• Round Balloon PNG
• Happy Birthday Sentiment PNG Sentiment
• With Sympathy Sentiment PNG Sentiment
• Thinking Of You Sentiment PNG Sentiment
• Sending You Love Sentiment PNG Sentiment
• You Are So Special Sentiment PNG Sentiment

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought it would be neat to combine the Fairytale Cottage and the Tricycle Gnome to create a fun easel card! I used the PNG version of the Tricycle Gnome so that the background would be visible behind the gnome. PNGs have a clear background.

For the Fairytale Cottage, there is a river that runs through it. But I decided that my gnome would be riding his tricycle down a dirt road instead of the river. So, I coloured the river as a road. I also strategically place him in the scene so that his flowers mostly cover up the wooden bridge. You probably wouldn’t notice it if I didn’t say anything. I also wanted to make sure that the quaint cottage was visible like he just left it to deliver his flowers.

I had a lot of fun colouring the scene and the gnome with my Copic markers! The card didn’t need any embellishments, but I did add Star Dust Stickles to the light coming from the windows, his pompom and the dog’s pompom. I also added some accents in white with a Gelly Roll Pen to his outfit. And finally, I added Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the spokes and pedals of his tricycle and the orange flower centres.

Since I didn’t have a metal die big enough to cut out my scene, I used my Brother Scan & Cut to cut out the scene and the subsequent circles for my easel. I love the easel card since it folds flat for mailing purposes!
