Alphabet Birthday Card

Needed a way to use up some little scraps of core'dinations coloured card so came up with this after seeing something similar on Pinterest.  Quite like the look of random fonts together to make up each word.  Still loads more scraps left so will likely make more and vary the words on different backgrounds.


The alphas were die cut in white, adhered to the coloured card then hand cut with random edges.  Background was lightly inked with hickory smoke distress oxide through a plaid stencil then I decided to rotate the stencil and ink again with cracked pistachio for a little more colour and design.  Colourful die cut circles from the same card to embellish which are softer for mailing than enamel dots as they won't pierce through the envelope.  Panel mounted onto a darker matt layer.       

I've used - 13 cm sq white card base
Core'dinations cardstock
Funky Fossil Ransom Note Alpha die set
Funky Fossil Plaid stencil
Distress Oxide inks

  1. OH MY WORD! What a clever card this is Steph - you must have the patience of a Saint - it's stunning. I don't even have that many different font alphabet dies to mix for the Happy Birthday!
