Silly Goose Birthday with Wanda

Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here today on The Greetery Blog! Hope you had a wonderful Easter and that everything is good in your crafty place! I am still loving a pretty Spring color palette and brighter, more cheery cards for the season. How amazing was last month’s new release? I loved it all! I knew I wanted to make some more Silly Goose cards, and I have one to share with you today. I made this one for a girlfriend who loves geese and I used a pretty color scheme grounded with cream and kraft… Let’s look!

My finished card is an A2 Cream card base. I used the A2 Stitched Scallops Dies in Kraft to make a pretty background. I layered on some gingham paper and then another cream panel. I die cut out all the pieces for my cute goose, her hat, and the balloons using the awesome Silly Goose Dies. (I am obsessed)… I put the goose together and added shading with Copic Markers. 

I die cut two hats and hand cut out the stripes to make it a bit more festive! White gel pen accents on there too! For the balloon, I gently inked the tops of the balloons with matching Distress Inks. The balloon strings are gold cardstock.

I stamped and gold heat embossed the sentiments from the Silly Goose Sentiments stamp set and I used the matching die for the larger sentiment. I cut the smaller sentiment out with my paper trimmer. I layered all the pieces onto my card using foam squares for added dimension. 

That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have a fantastic and creative day! Wishing you all the best. It’s my pleasure to share with you every month. Happy Spring! Blessings to you and your families. I will see you soon… In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda
