I am Heather McCanna on behalf of expertvillage.com and today I will be discussing card making basics. Specifically how to further decorate our pop up character card. Now that we gone ahead a created the pop up character mouth and drawn the pop up character I'm going to put a message inside. It is often nice since we have a pop up character to make a word bubble so the character could actually be speaking to the card recipient. In this case it is going to be a anniversary card and I'm going to make the message fit which character I've chose which is a frog. So I'm going to make a word bubble simply drawing a line from the mouth of the character out and making a large circle. In here I'm going to put hoppy anniversary since it is a frog and it is a anniversary card. Here is my nice little word bubble message. So when you open the card and you decorate the frog with probably with a nice picture since I've already got the message inside. They'd open the card and be faced with a bright character given them a happy anniversary message. I would also go ahead a further decorate the white space in the card as card are much more fun when the are bright and colorful. So now that we've got our character we went ahead a gave him a message and he is ready to give someone a happy wish for a hoppy anniversary.
