Enjoy Rainbow Birthday

Hello there!  It's the last day of May, and it's my birthday!  Not doing anything crazy - too old for that! πŸ˜‰ - but it will be a full day of visits and get togethers.  And today (surprise surprise), I have a fun and colourful birthday card to share.  Can never have too many birthday cards.


Started by stencilling the cloud background with Tumbled Glass distress ink (di) on an A2 size Whisper White cardstock panel.  The Rainbow Stripes were then die cut from Bristol paper and Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet di's were blended on with a mini blending tool.  Spritz with water and dabbed off with a paper towel for some texture.  For some glitz, sprayed with a Sparkle spray.  Unfortunately, shimmer doesn't photo well.


The elephants were stamped with Copic friendly black ink on X-press It cardstock, coloured in with Copics, then die cut out with their matching dies.  Decided to keep them monochrome for some contrast.  White heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock.  Assembled card onto a white card base and popped up the middle elephant with foam tape to finish.


Thank you for visiting .  Have a wonderful weekend.
