Hello everyone. My youngest nephew, Cohen, turns ONE next week! Wow, time flies! I decided to stretch a never before used (NBUS) Valentine stamp set from Mana Elephant (ME) called Up With Love to create his card.
Started by stamping the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap of X-Press It cardstock and coloured it with Copic markers (BG49, BG13, BG11, BG10, E25, E33, E31, E30, R30). Added highlights to the balloon with a white gel pen, then took the matching die and die cut it and a scrap of thick white cardstock to stack them for support.
The same BG markers were then used to ombré colour a scrap of X-Press It cardstock before die cutting the Altenew (ALT) Bold Alphabet letters from it. The letters were die cut again from a scrap of black cardstock to offset for a drop shadow. Created a cloud background on a stitched Bristol panel from my stash using a blender brush, gray dye ink and the cloud edge stencil from Honey Bee Stamps (HB) Outdoor Scene Builder.
White heat embossed the sentiment from Birthday Blowout stamp set by Poppy Stamps (PS) and assembled the card to finish. Thank you for dropping by.
