The Most Awesome Dad Ever

This is a variation on the previous paper cut-and-paste starburst cards I made - this was blue cardstock masked and painted with silver paint. (Will put a link up to the tutorial on my blog later)

Then I used a mathematical compass to draw a circle from the point of radiation of the starburst, and cut it out. Using that as a template, I drew the circle onto a square of tracing paper, and then messed with some fonts on my computer to design the sentiment ('awesome' and 'dad' are copied from fonts) I copied the fonts and handwrote the rest on the tracing paper using Artline Drawing System 0.1 black pigment pen, and coloured some of it in with blue and red Sakura Aqualip pens, and drew over the rest with clear Sakura Aqualip to give it a slightly raised/shiny look. 

Then I stuck the tracing paper behind the front of the card so that the sentiment showed through the window. I finished it off with dash lines in a white gel pen around the circle window.
