The Recipe
2. Select color scheme. This week: Black and Red (our favorite colors)
3. Stamp the wallpaper on the right of the card.
4. Design the quote using your favorite text software and print onto card. Hint: Print out first on plain paper to make sure it's the right proportion for the card. Then, tape the card in the exact position over the test paper you just printed. Run through printer again. Voila!
3. The dress, inspiration from dress patterns online. Freehand cut the bodice into a sweetheart neckline. The skirt of the dress is almost a pie shape with the end cut off. Scored and folded in 4 equal pieces to give dimension.
4. Embellish the skirt and bodice pieces with ribbon, flowers and a pretty button.
5. Adhere to front of card.
6. Stamp inside with Happy Birthday and sentiment. Send card to your bestie.
7. Get creative and make it your own. Post to your blog, link to Unscripted Sketces and leave a comment here!
