This week's Polkadoodles Design Team members were given a TRIPLE challenge for our inspirational cards. They needed to be 1. Birthday, 2. Include a number, and 3. Use a color palette.
For mine, I selected Polkadoodles Gnometastic Birthday Surprise digital for the main image and made this 'Over the Hill' Easel card.
I started by sizing the image to about 3" tall and layering in the '40' in the balloon. I printed this on Neenah 110# cardstock.
and I used my Copic markers for my coloring. The edge is die cut using a standard rectangular stitched die.
For the Easel shaped base, I started with the deep aqua green solid cardstock, cut 5 1/4" x 11". It was scored at 2 3/4" and 5 3/4" to make the tent fold.
On the top of the 5 1/4" piece, I added two 3/4" strips from the Polkadoodles Birthday Fun Paper pack. I mounted the colored image on the balloon paper (4 5/8" x 5 5/8") and then added the solid yellow cardstock (5" x 5 7/8") behind it. Then I secured this piece to the folded 2 3/4" piece to fit under the edge of the candle strip. Lastly I used a black fine point sharpie to hand write on the flag 'Over the Hill!'.
