This birthday card started out as a striped card with mini roses on it. As you can see, I added a border on the right side of plain pink and plain green. The greeting on the tag is an outline sticker. The focal was made from outline stickers -- probably Dazzles brand. I mounted them on paper I had colored with alcohol inks to coordinate with the card base -- actually two were mounted on that and two on a plain dark pink paper. Note also that some of what I used were actually the "innies" of the outline sticker.
Several places sell transfer paper to allow you to transfer those innies, but I find that painters tape works pretty well, too. I just take pieces of tape and cover the part I want to transfer, overlapping the pieces if I need more than one. I press them all down firmly, then start to peel them back, making sure the innies come with them - using my fingernail to help them if necessary. Then I just position the whole thing where I want it on my project, rub it down firmly, and then slowly peel off the painter's tape, making sure this time that the innies stay attached to my project.

Painters tape? I will have to try that. I have a hard time with their transfer paper. Thanks!
