16th Birthday

Good Morning everyone.  I hope you had a good weekend and saw some sunshine.

Today im sharing a 16th birthday card i made for my god daughter, she isn't really girly girly so couldn't go with pink and flowers.  I decided to go with black and white and splash of rainbow colour. 

A5 cardbase.  I matted white linen and black card onto the base card.  I then coloured a piece of white card with oxide inks, starting red one side and going through to blue.  This is die cut into triangles, i die cut the top layer of the triangle set from black card and glued the 2 layers together. 

On a strip of white card I arranged the triangles. This panel i mounted onto black.  I stamped the sentiment circle onto white and die cut into a circular frame, i die cut a larger circle from black card.  

I first glued the black circle to the base card to the right side, i then added my triangle strip, i then added the white sentiment circle frame over the top with foam tape. So basically the triangle strip threads between to black circle and the sentiment circle - just for a bit of interest.   I computer printed the 16 today and die cut into a circle, mounted onto a black circle and then added to the middle of my sentiment circle. Glitter gems to finish.

This second one just uses the opposite colour on the triangles,  so i die cut the top fancy layer from the inked card and glued onto black base triangles. 

Made the same as the first one, i just added party time to the middle circle.  

This 3rd one actually came about from the lefts overs from the above triangles, i was left with all these little pieces of coloured card so decided to cut some more in white and insert the coloured pieces giving a stained glass like effect. I quite liked this way and a good use of left over snippets!  A bit fiddly though. 

6x7 White linen basecard.  After making up my triangles i added them to a strip of black card which i attached to the cardfront.  I stamped the sentiment circle onto white card and die cut into a circle, matted onto a larger black circle and added to the card front.  I added another one of the triangle to the centre of my sentiment.  Glitter dots to finish.
