Huge Birthday Wishes

Hi everyone.  I have another birthday card to share today.


The elephant and little bird images were stamped with Copic friendly black ink on X-press It cardstock, coloured with Copics then die cut out with the matching dies.  Tumbled Glass distress ink was blended over a cloud stencil directly onto the card base to create the background.  The Tri Window panel was die cut from Bristol paper, then mounted on top with foam tape.


The letters from the same panel die set were die cut from black cardstock and also popped up with foam tape.  Stamped birthday wishes in black on a white scrap before die cutiing it out with a balloon die.  It was then coloured by ink blending with Real Red and Black Soot for shading.  Adhered the images to the scene, popping them up with foam tape where needed.  For some sparkle, added clear shimmer to the balloons and Crystal Glaze on the letters to finish.


I had a lot of fun creating this card.  Thank you for stopping by.

Lovely card - great little elephants flying with their beautiful coloured balloons. I like the way the clouds are behind the three openings in the front panel.
