Vintage Roses Fence Birthday Card
For the card front: Place the card with the fold on the left. Cut 4 7/8"x6 3/8" Vintage Roses corner design paper with the roses in the upper right corner. Ink the edges with Seal Brown, then glue the paper centered on the front.
Cut 8"x4½" tan cardstock and place it horizontally on the score board. Score every ½" across the entire piece. Place the cardstock on the craft mat, then swipe the Friar Brown ink pad over the piece in the direction of the scores. The scored lines should remain tan while the remaining surfaces start looking like boards. (Don’t completely cover the piece with ink—let some of the tan show through.)
Very lightly swipe the Seal Brown ink pad over the surface of the scored cardstock. Cut 4" off one end and set aside the remainder for the card inside. Ink the edges with Seal Brown. Wrap two 6" jute lengths across the panel, 1¼" from the bottom, securing the ends to the back. Trim the upper right corner to round it slightly, then foam tape the boards panel in the lower left corner.
Die cut the 4" leaf branch once and the 4½" branch twice from green cardstock. Trim a small lower branch off one of the 4½" die-cuts, then glue the three branches to the boards as shown.
Die cut the three smaller blooms from the rose cardstock, then ink the edges with Bordeaux. Slightly curl the petals with the bone folder (as you would curl ribbon), then stack and use sticky tape to secure the layers. Foam tape the blossom as shown, then glue that small branch from step 4 extending up in front of the bloom.
Make a 6-loop jute bow and tie the center with a 4" jute length. Glue the bow to the first jute strands as shown. Place black “just for you” Dazzles™ across the upper front and small gold flower Dazzles™ among the leaves as shown. Place sepia and ivory diamond sparkles in the bloom center.
For the inside: Cut 4¾"x6¼" Vintage Roses illustrated border paper with the flowers on the left and ink the edges with Seal Brown. Glue it centered on the inside. Cut 3½"x3 7/8" from the remaining boards cardstock and ink the edges with Seal Brown. Glue it to the inside paper in the lower right corner.
