Big Birthday Hugs

Hello there!  I am sharing my final December birthday card today and it caps off my week of birthday posts.  No owls this time.  I used a new stamp set to make this really quick CAS birthday card for my friend Linda whose birthday is today!


Started by die cutting a stitched rectangle from X-Press It cardstock.  Stamped the elephant image with Copic friendly black ink and coloured with Copics.  A Cloud stenci, Tumbled Glass distress ink and a mini blending tool were used to create the background.  I didn't bother masking, so had to be extra careful near the image.  The sentiment was black heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder to finish.


And that was it!  Thank you for stopping by.  Have a wonderful weekend and happy holidays!

Wow, Trina! I am amazed and in awe that you managed to get those wonderful clouds stencilled so close to that darling little elephant without masking. The colours are so crisp and perfect. A wonderful birthday card. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
