Alphabet And Toppers Pick Of The Week Launch Card

Just a quick post before I start rushing around for the day.  Here's one of the cards I made for the Tonic Studios Pick of the Week Launch which is on Create and Craft today at 12 noon, don't forget to set your Tivo for it :)

For this card I've made another 8" x 8" card blank out of plain white card and trimmed the front top corner by drawing around a dinner plate and trimming it down.  I've created a nice powder blue layer for the top by using the scrap I trimmed off the white card blank as a template.  I get exactly the same curve that way.  Before sticking the blue layer in place I added the ribbon so I could tuck the ends away underneath.

I die cut one of the new topper frames from the Believe/Love Topper Frames Die Set and made my own topper to go in it with the plain panel from the Thank You Topper Die Set, finally adding the Just for you from the Just For You Pansy Topper Die Set.

The Happy Birthday lettering was cut from the Pretoria Duocaps Initials Die Sets but just using the centres.  These were glued in place around the curve.

The piece that was cut off when cutting the blue layer for the front was then trimmed down and glued in place on the exposed back corner and finished with a die cut corner from the Ivy Deco Frame Die Set.

The card was finished off with a nice full hand tied bow and quite a few tiny blue pearls.

I hope you like it.
