Part of our Memorial Day Celebration yesterday was to join in with our 'Dance Family' to celebrate one of the guy's 68th birthday. His wife threw a huge potluck supper with dancing afterwards in his honor.
I'd like to share the special card that I made for this occasion, using Clearly Besotted, Cha Cha Cha stamp set.
To make this card I stamped each image in the set on Neenah 110# cardstock and used Copic markers for the coloring.
Next I selected Tailored Expressions Square Block Cutting Plate (TF290) for the outline blocking. I used a standard circle die to cut all of the images except the single male dancer. For that image, I used a stitched circle die to help him stand out. After all - he's in the spotlight.
The tiny 'disco ball' needed to really sparkle, so I stamped it on silver glitter paper and trimmed it closely. I also die cut a standard 'Happy Birthday' out of the gold paper that I used for the blocking frame.
The card base is 5 1/2" square, covered with the black, gold and silver shiny paper. After securing the gold blocking outline, then I added each character to the blocks, overlapping the bottom right to be sure he was in the 'spotlight'. Lastly I added the Happy Birthday sentiment on the left and the white paper inside for writing the birthday message.
