Happy Birthday!


Print


I have a fun Birthday card to share today!  I am playing along with this week's MFT Sketch Challenge and The Color Throwdown.

Love this week's Throwdown colors!  So fun to work with!  All products from MFT Stamps unless otherwise noted.  I started with MFT Card Stock Sampler Pack.  I am using Smooth White, Nightshift Blue, Cotton Candy, and Sour Apple.  I used Blueprint 10 to die cut the rounded edge nightshift blue panel.  I stamped this with MFT Snowfall background using MFT Pigment Sweet Tooth ink pad.  I then cut out the sour apple panel with fishtail flags stax in sour apple.  I stamped this panel with MFT Fine Check background stamp.   I inked the edges with Versa Mark(stash) for added definition.  I then cut out the white panel using MFT Horizontal Strips.  I stamped this panel using MFT Premium Sno Cone in pad with the tiny snowflake image from Cool Days stamp set.  

I die cut the bear from Cool Days Die namics and stamped with coordinating image from Cool Days stamp set using MFT Hybrid Black Licorice ink pad using Neenah Solar White(stash).  I colored with Copic Markers(stash).  I used some pop dots(stash) and attached to panel.  Next, I used MFT Balloon Stax and die cut the cotton candy balloon.  I stamped this image with the sentiment from Cool Days stamp set using MFT Hybrid Black Licorice ink pad.  I sponged the edges with Versa Mark to add some depth and dimension to the balloon.  I stamped the tiny heart from Cool Days stamp set using MFT Premium Lemonade Pink ink pad to the lower center of the balloon.  I wrapped regular sewing thread(stash) around the balloon and glued it in places to look like the bear was holding it.  I used some pop dots to create some varied height.  I finished my card with some Shine Bright Sequins(VerveStamps).  

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
