Happy Friday! It's Jeanne today with a birthday card featuring the Prancing Pony die from the new Circus release. These dies are so much fun. I love using them with bright and cheerful paper!
To begin I chose a patterned paper so I could get my color palette. I cut an A2 panel from pink, a polka dot panel 3 3/4 x 5 inches and a white oval using the second largest of the Nested Stitched Eyelet Oval dies.
I used a corner rounder punch to round the corners on the polka dot panel.
Then I centered everything and glued them together.
Next I cut my horse from two shades of gray cardstock and the accessories from white cardstock which I colored with Copic markers to match the background paper.
I assembled the drum and pony separately but glued the pony to the drum before adhering them to the oval. I wanted the pony to be centered and that made the drum off center.
For my sentiment and banners I cut three strips 3/4 x (approximately) 6 inches. I stamped my sentiment on the white strip.
I fishtailed the ends of the two patterned strip and laid them at angles under the pony. I trimmed the excess on the left with scissors. For my sentiment I trimmed it to 4 1/4 inches across and used foam tape to adhere it to the card front.
For a little bit extra I added some glitter enamel dots to the area under the horse and the banner.
I hope you've enjoyed my card today. I think it would make a darling card for a little girl who loves ponies! Be sure to visit the online store where the Circus dies are on sale for a limited time!
