I previously made a paper template using 3 squares of paper 6" x 6". This gave me the ability to work out what size my triangle panels needed to be. I use a graphics program called Affinity Designer and made a template sheet with the 3 triangle panels needed to decorate this style of card. This then gives you the freedom to add your image and type any text, or indeed add any digital stamps as required.
The main image of the cake has been coloured with Promarkers. I added some Stickles glitter glue to the icing and some pink twisted bugle beads for added dimension. The background has been coloured by using Spectrum Noir Glitter Markers and a waterbrush. I scribbled a small amount of the purple and pink pens onto a palette and gently added dots to the background. The shimmer is very delicate but definitely sparkly.
The second image is the pile of gifts. This has been coloured with Promarkers again. I added a gold gel pen around the ribbon. The glitter markers have been used to add shading to the gifts and again to create the background. I added some orange dots as well as the pink and purple to match the colours in the gifts. This side is where the velcro dot gets added to seal the card so the triangular panel is a little shorter at this side.
The final side has been made using 2 of the images from the Party Monster Stamps set. I used the cute fuzzy monster and added the striped hat with the fuzzy pom pom on top. I added a sentiment by typing in the text. He looks like he wants to give a big hug so this is what I based my sentiment on.
This again has been coloured with Promarkers and the glitter markers. The background has green pen added to match the eyes and teeth.
When I made a card in this shape before I realised that very quickly the 'feet' that the card sits on looks tatty in no time at all. This time I used a corner rounder punch and that has made a massive difference to the finish and looks so much neater. I added some silver peel off stickers to the bottom edge around all sides.
Due to Covid I have not seen my sister since her birthday last year. She and one of my nieces work at a care home and they have had to be very careful not to infect the residents. Also she lives some distance away 60 miles/1.5 hours each way which is a definite no no with the current lockdown. This cute little monster will be the only way I can give her a hug at the moment.
