Sydney Alphabet Die Focused Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this tropical Birthday card featuring the new Sydney Alphabet dies.

Normally, I start by ink blending the background, but this time I began with the dies and stamps. I wasn’t sure yet where everything would go on the card, so I didn’t know exactly how far the beach and sea should extend.

First, I die-cut the birthday girl’s name using the new Sydney Alphabet dies. I die-cut the letters twice: once from coral-colored paper and once from gray paper. I layered the gray letters behind the coral ones to create a soft shadow effect.

I decided to let the Fabulous Flamingos be the party guests and dressed up the card with lots of greenery: the palm trees from the Tropical Scenes set and the leaves from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set. The parrots from the Tiki Time stamp set joined in as extra tropical guests.

Once I had a rough idea of where everything would be placed on the card, I ink blended the sea and the beach onto the background. After that I colored the stamps with Ohuhu markers.

To make the card feel even more festive, I added some fun party elements like the party hats, cupcake, and party horn from the Panda Party set. And of course, the flamingos needed cocktails to toast. Finally, I glued the name and colored images onto the background and added some highlights with a white gel pen.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.
