Bikini Birthday!

This is my take on Tracey Sanders Bra Card.

I used my Art Philosophy cartridge and my gypsy to create a Bikini Top Birthday Card. I used the CARD option and the shape located on the top row 3rd from the right.

I cut the base at out at 4" using black cardstock . The top layer is cut at 3 3/4" from Sorbet cardstock. Then I put the top layer though my Cuttlebug to add some texture.

To make the straps I used the FONT layer and bottom row, 2nd from the right to make the border piece, cut it at 3/4 inch and then folded it in half. Layer the bra pieces together, but leave some part of the bra layers unattached so you can slip in a tag/sentiment.

Attach the straps and add some pretty buttons or bling.

I made a telescoping sentiment cut from a scallop circle at 3"(brown cardstock), 2 3/4" (sorbet cardstack)and 2 1/2” (colonial white cardstock).

Attach a flower decoration to the center of your bikini.

If you would like a gypsy cut file of this project, just send me an e-mail.
