Birthday Cards

This month Valerie had a lot of birthday cards to make.  She made these with stamps, colored pencils, stencils and chalk.  Happy July Days!

Dry Embossed Card

 This month Valerie dry embossed a Birthday Card for a friend.  She used Cardstock, Pastel Chalk, Lightbox, Brass Stencil, adhesive, embossing stylus, and stiff brush to complete this project.

Pastels Used

Line up the stencil on the card where you want it.  You can use temporary adhesive to hold it in place.  Flip the card over so the stencil is face down on the light table.  Rub the card surface with wax paper.  Use the stylus to dry emboss the card, following the design.

View of the card after the stylus has been used to trace stencil and the card is still on the light box.

Flip the card back over so the stencil is facing you.  Keeping the stencil in place, use a stiff brush and chalk pastels to add color to your design.

Finished Design!
