Hey there Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. Today, I've created another beautiful sea inspired Happy Birthday card for you, that's perfect to give to that special someone in your life for their birthday. You'll want to read below as I share with you how I created and transformed each of my chipboard pieces to create my For You, Happy Birthday Card.
To start, cut out two of the Coral pieces. With the two coral pieces in front of you, apply Emboss It Ink to the coral pieces. Sprinkle Violet Satin Pearl Embossing Powder on each coral piece. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool. Let the coral pieces cool. Once the pieces have cooled, apply a layer of Emboss It Ink to the just embossed coral pieces. Sprinkle White Satin Pearl Embossing Powder on each coral piece. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool. Set the coral pieces aside.
Take one Coral piece in wood out of the package. Apply a layer of Emboss It Ink to the wood coral pieces. Sprinkle White Satin Pearl Embossing Powder on the wood coral piece. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool. Set the wood coral piece aside.
Take two Mini Wood Starfish out of the package. Apply two coats of Broken China Distress Stain to the starfish. Set the starfish pieces aside to dry.
Take four Mini Anchors out of the package. Start by applying two coats of Brushed Pewter Distress Paint to all four anchors. Once the paint has dried, apply Black Soot Distress Crayon to portions of all four anchors. Rub the crayon in with your finger. Set the anchors aside.
Next, you'll need two seahorses. Apply two coats of Weathered Wood Distress Stain to each seahorse. Set the seahorses aside to dry.
From the Mini Ocean Set, cut out three of the dolphins. With the three dolphins in front of you, apply two coats of Broken China Distress Paint to each dolphin. Set the dolphins aside to dry.
Pull out two flip flops from the Mini Wood Flip Flops. For the bottom portion of the flip flop, apply two coats of Chipped Sapphire Distress Stain. On the second layer of the Chipped Sapphire Distress Stain, while the layer is still wet, apply a coat of Broken China Distress Stain overtop of the Chipped Sapphire layer. Set the bottom portion of the flip flop aside. For the top portion of the flip flop, apply two coats of Vintage Photo Distress Stain. Let the top portion of the flip flop dry.
After the flip flop pieces have dried, adhere the top portion of the flip flop to the bottom portion of the flip flop. Repeat the previous step again for the other flip flop.
Take one Mini Wood Sand Dollar out of the package.
Take two Mini Wood Clam Shells out of the package.
The last piece of chipboard you need is the Elegant Vintage Flourish Frame. Blend Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink overtop of the entire frame. Spritz the frame with water. Set the frame aside to dry.
Now it's time to cut the paper.
To start, die cut the mermaid image out of the 2 1/2" stitched oval. Distress the edges of the stitched oval. Ink the edges of the stitched oval using a blending tool with foam and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.
Using the 3" Stitched Oval, die cut an oval out of blue patterned paper. Distress the edges of the stitched oval. Ink the edges of the stitched oval using a blending tool with foam and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.
Choose your sentiment from the patterned paper and cut it into two strips. Ink the edges of the sentiment using a blending tool with foam and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.
From the blue scalloped paper, cut a piece that measures 4 1/2" x 6 1/2". Distress the edges of the stitched oval. Ink the edges of the stitched oval using a blending tool with foam and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.
Cut a piece of blue map patterned paper that measures 4 3/4" x 6 3/4". Distress the edges of the stitched oval. Ink the edges of the stitched oval using a blending tool with foam and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.
From the brown coral paper, cut a piece that measures 4 7/8" x 6 7/8". Distress the edges of the stitched oval. Ink the edges of the stitched oval using a blending tool with foam and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.
Cut a cardbase from Super Stock cardstock that measures 7" x 10". Score the cardbase at 5" and fold the cardbase in half.
Adhere the 4 1/2" patterned paper piece to the 4 3/4" patterned paper piece. Adhere the 4 3/4" patterned paper piece to the 4 7/8" patterned paper piece.
Foam square the mermaid image to the 3" stitched oval.
Adhere the 3" stitched oval to the middle of the card front. Adhere the Elegant Vintage Flourish Frame overtop of the 3" stitched oval.
In the bottom right hand corner of the frame, adhere two anchors, a chipboard coral piece, the wood coral piece, two dolphins, a flip flop, seahorse and clamshell as desired.
In the top left hand corner of the frame, adhere the other chipboard coral piece, two anchors, two starfish, a seahorse, a clamshell, one dolphin and a sand dollar.
