Birthday Wishes Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

My second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here.

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Birthday Wishes Card. :o)

My card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of my own card I made last year (find it here). I went with same design, layout, used same techniques, stamps and dies, except color scheme. On my today's card I wanted to create an Ombré Effect with hearts. I like it very much, I'll surely make more cards like this with different colors. :o)

For my card I used a sentiment stamp from a Jane's Doodles 'Birthday Wishes' stamp set and hearts die cuts form Jane's Doodles 'Stinks' dies set.


How I made my card...

On this card (like on the original) I went with a die cut inlay technique. I love puzzles and this technique is super fun to me. :o) You can find amazing video tutorials and awesome ideas on this technique on Jennifer's McGuire blog (here and here)

I die cut hearts in a white cardstock paper panel and stamped a sentiment in black on the panel. I kept white die cut hearts for some future projects.

Then I blended various blue tone Distress Ink colors on a white cardstock paper piece and die cut hearts in it.

I glued the panel on a same size white top folded card base, inserted die cut hearts into openings and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 83 mm x 114 mm (3 1/4" x 4 1/2")
