I made the card using smooth white cardstock cut to be the size of an A2 card base. I wanted to make a birthday card that was bright and cheerful and perfect for a summer birthday! I created a plaid background in my favorite distress colors using post-it tape. I trimmed it down to leave a white border and die cut a scalloped window from the middle. I then die cut the Soft Serve Cone 3 times out of scraps of colored cardstock and adhered them together with liquid glue.I then die cut the CZ Designs Let's Celebrate sentiment twice. Once from white cardstock and once from craft cardstock. I offset the dies and adhered them together to look like a shadow. The sparkle on the plaid background is using red line double sided tape and clear glitter to add a bit of sparkle.
