I took this design into Serif Drawplus X5 and traced the horse and carriage. I then used black as the fill colour, copied it, and flipped the copy vertically. I faded the copy of the carriage using the transparency option. I had a picture of a sunset sky on my PC, and inserted that behind the design. The ground was made using two rectangles, one filled with black, and the other with green. I used the transparency option to allow the sunset colour to show through. The trees and bushes were made by using the airbrush. I added a frame around the picture in a co-ordinating colour. The design was printed on Crafty Bobs photo paper, landscape, and I placed gold peel-offs round the picture. The card was made from a sheet of A4 canvas card, folded to A5 size.
For this card I printed my chosen colour of background paper from cup438748_986 onto 300gsm Super Smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed this to fit on an 8" square, ivory, Crafty Bob base card, and then went round the edge with a brown ProMarker.
I attached it to the card front using fingerlift tape. I added a piece of brown ribbon and dots of two shades of black and brown glitter glue.
The silhouette topper was cut using one of the images in this silhouette set and this was attached using glue gel before the card was finished with a peel-off greeting that says "Penblwydd Hapus" - which is Welsh for "Happy Birthday".
