Birthday Card from Cuttlebug Tutorial 5 "Using Tim Holtz, Sizzix, Spellbinders Dies"

"A Little Bit of Everything"

This card  has a little bit of all the companies!  I even used a Cuttlebug embossing folder!

The colors that I used for the images in the previous post where chosen by random!

I needed a piece of paper to match the images...and here it is!  I found this in my paper stash!

I cut a piece of the rose paper to fit an A2 card.  then glued the printed paper on a diagonal on the card front.

I turned the papers over and trimmed away the edges.

This became my card base.

In the previous post I used the Tim Holtz die "Sewing Room".

The rose is created from the Spellbinders die "Spiral Blossom Two"

To add interest to the spool, I embossed it with

Cuttlebug embossing folder "Distressed Stripes"

Then wrapped the spool with ordinary sewing thread.  I cut a small slip on the top of the spool to hold the end of the thread.

For the dress I cut another image in blue and trimmed away the parts that I didn't want.  Then added some pen stitching, a ribbon around the waist, and a pendant bead from Joanns threaded on a piece of the ribbon.

I started the flower created from the Spellbinders spiral blossom with a quilling tool, but removed it and rolled with my fingers.  I let the coil relax, glued the flower to the base, and added a few little leaves.

The inside sentiment is a die from Sizzix.  The button is from the TH die.

The flower is glued to the cardbase, the dress/stand and spool of thread are attached with dimensional tape to give depth.
