This is another card using computerized fonts at a 120 to 150 size, printed out and transferred to Arches 90# HP watercolor paper. The font I used is called Jazz Poster. Die cut with a Spellbinders Deckle Rectangle Nestabilities die (largest one), dry embossed. Each letter was on a separate rectangle, outlined with a Micron black pen and colored in with Tombow watercolor markers and a mini water brush. When dry, added a touch of Ranger's white Enamel Accents and Sakura Clear Stardust pen - moved with the water brush.

Note: Sakura gel pens can all be moved around while wet, but once the ink dries - it's non movable.

Again this is a perfect place to play with Zentangle patterns inside each letter. Always leave some white spaces.

When the letters were done, I stacked them, just overlapping them slightly, then cut off the excess cardstock from the left side. Scored a line a slight 1/8" on each piece and used double sided tape to connect the layers.

Created a side folded spliced cream toned card. Adhered the blue layer edge to edge.

Ran another piece of cream toned cardstock with the Happy Birthday embossing folder, moving the folder over to get the length I needed. Brayered Distress Dusty Concord on the high points and clear embossed. Trimmed it down to size. Adhered my ribbon to the back.

Adhered it to the main card, then adhered the letters to the card and edged it with an On The Edge "Brackets" die cut piece in purple.

Stamped my sentiments & quote to each page with Dusty Concord stamp pad and clear embossed.
