Spellbinders 3D of the Month Club

 

Up until this point I haven't joined a subscription because I didn't know that I'd like every month's offering. I saw this new Spellbinders 3D folder for January, then read you can stop your subscription at any time. So I decided to sign up because, well, isn't it beautiful? I love that the center is the perfect spot for a sentiment. Take it from me, it look just as beautiful in plain white. 

This folder is 5 3/4" x 8 3/4" I cut down the image to fit on a 5x61/2" card. You can also cut it to fit on a standard size card, I'll post another project soon with that size. I used it with my Sizzix Big Shot machine, no problem. #2 on the adapter, instead of a bottom plate I used an embossing pad with the top plate. Great impression.

The "Happy Birthday" is from the Spellbinders "Simply Perfect Mix & Match Sentiments". I cut it from gold cardstock and 2 more times from scrap cardstock to stack it.

I painted the flowers in Distress Ink, Spun Sugar first, next, Picked Raspberry. I always start with the lightest color, then use a darker shade closer to the center. Later, I wanted to emphasize the dark areas so I used a Copic marker in R81 and RV02. The leaves are in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. The blue flowers are painted with Shaded Lilac and the darker area is Copic B23. I used watered down Tea Dye for the background. I was going to leave the center white but accidently got a bit of ink on it, so I used a dark navy watercolor to paint the center. Not my favorite part of the card but it hides the mistake.

Once I added the gold sentiment, it diverted the attention from my least favorite part and actually helped the sentiment standout.

Unfortunately, this month's 3D embossing folder is sold out but you can see the details here, maybe sign up for next month's subscription? Take a look at the Large die of the month for January, I should have gotten that too, it's so beautiful, but it's sold out too! Remember, you can cancel at any time.
