This funky red and black design card is ideal for teenagers or for just about anyone who likes rock music!
What you will need to make this card:
- A white 120mm x 120mm square card blank
- Black handmade mulberry paper
- Red mulberry tissue paper
- Red & black electric guitar die-cut shape
- Red stickles glitter glue
- Happy Birthday peel off sticker – diamond silver
- Craft glue
- Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat
How to make:
Measure and cut out a 110mm x 110mm square from the black handmade mulberry paper and then cut out a 90mm x 90mm square from the centre of the square leaving you with a black handmade mulberry paper frame.
Next measure and cut out a 100mm x 100mm square from the red mulberry tissue paper. Lay the red mulberry tissue paper square on the card blank and use glue to stick the black handmade mulberry paper frame over the top of it securing both centrally to the card blank.
Take the die-cut electric guitar shape and glue it at an angle in the centre of the frame leaving space at the bottom right hand corner for the peel off greeting.
Remove the ‘Happy Birthday’ wording from the diamond silver peel off backing sheet and stick the wording inside the bottom right hand side of the frame.
Squeeze a little of the red stickles glitter glue onto your finger tip and rub into the black handmade mulberry paper frame, repeat until there is a red glittery shimmer all the way around the black frame. This does not have to be completely even.
Finally squeeze a round blob of the red stickles glitter glue in each of the four corners of the frame. Leave card flat and to one side to dry completely.
