Hope my American friends had a lovely day yesterday. I'm up first with the start of the new July Reveal. I know I'm a day late with this card, please forgive me, but I thought it may be fun to show a different feel to the new Emma's Best Birthday Set 902, with a little help from Baxter - July 4th digi set 901!!!
I thought it would be fun to combine Baxter and Emma into a Fourth of July celebration card. So I started by printing the digis of the flag and Baxter on my computer.
The flag was cut down to 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" and then Baxter was fussy cut with the 5" mini scissors. I deliberately left a little white edge around him.
Emma was stamped in Hybrid Black Shadow ink, using the Stamp Platform and was then colored in with the Nuvo Alcohol Pens and she also was fussy cut leaving a little white edging.
The sentiment (from the Happy Birthday set) was stamped, also using the Stamp Platform, in Nuvo Clear Mark ink and heat embossed with Cerulean on to a scrap of white cardstock.
The star was cut out from the flag using the Tonic Shaker and Die set with the Tangerine.
The little stars from the Spellbinders Star Circles were mounded on top of the sentiment and the shaker element was placed over the top.
The shaker element was then placed in behind the star hole in the flag.
I used the Tonic Mirror Cardstocks Cobalt Velour and Ruby Red for the card base.
Some Gypsy Red and Denim Velvet Glitters were added to the cake icing with the Nuvo Smooth Precision Pen.
Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew was applied to the flag poles, the tray, the candle flame, Emma's shoes and Baxter's nose to finish off my little scene.
I hope you have enjoyed my share today.
Below is a list of the products that I used in my card today:
