An Art Deco Birthday card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #230 whose parameters included shaped card, peacock colors, tall element and XOXO.

Watch the video below to learn how I made the card.

Cardbase: I made a side-fold A2 cardbase by folding a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2-inch rectangle in half and stenciled the front on a separate panel. The tiny gold gems where glued on as the last decoration.

Sentiments: The banner sentiments were made using the Spellbinders BetterPress letterpress system and Cheers to You press plates and dies. The inside of the card is blank for a personal message.

Envelope: Envelope flap was stenciled with the same stencil and inks.

Here are two more cards I made at the same time using the same inks and stencil sets, but different BetterPress press plate – Mistletoe Greetings. (“Merry everything” sentiment inside is from Scrapbook and Cards Today’s Jolly Holiday workshop kit.)
