I found an interesting design card stock which was bight and colorful. The paper was 12" wide so
I I scored the card stock every 4 inches thus having two score marks. I trimmed about 1/4 of an inch
from the back panel so the flap would fit on the inside of the card. I then selected a "Girlfriend "
stamp set, (the 4 ladies proudly struting) and selected two of the ladies I wanted to use. I covered the
remaining ladies with a piece of card stock and lightly pressed my ink pad over the remaining two
ladies. I colored them in with the wooden crayon pencils and used mineral oil to smooth out the pencil strokes . I then cut them out and put it aside. I cut a scalloped oval in the bright orange and flued the ladies in the center . They overlapped a little which is what I wanted. I used another punch to cut out a phrase rectangle and stamped the words "Lets Celebrate". I then glued the big oval to the outside center of the card and the phrase at the top. I used dimentions for the ladies. On the inside of the card, I cut out a rectangle half the size of the card stock and then punched the half circle at the top. I glued that along the edges and bottom and attached to the center bottom of the card. Over it I cut out two scalloped ovals (spellbinders) and stamped Birthday wishes in the center and added a small butterfly beneath it. To the inside left side of the card I added on of the "golden oldies" which I stamped on white card stock, added a skirt to her bathing suit and put designs similar to the card design coloring everything with wooden crayon pencils and again using the mineral spirits to smooth the crayon. I then glued her to the card. A quick gift idea when you don't know what to purchase for someone.
