Whimsy Stamps - Retro Birthday

Hello there.  I’m popping in quickly to share a fun, retro disco vibe birthday card created with products from Whimsy Stamps (WS) 

Started with the background and applied VersaMark ink through new never before used (NBUS) Infinity stencil on a Bristol panel using a foam blending tool.  Heat embossed with clear embossing powder (EP) to do the emboss resist technique. Ink blended Wilted Violet, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch distress inks (DI), then wiped off excess ink with a paper towel.  Die cut the Retro Dancers from black cardstock next and added dots randomly on them with a white gel pen to simulate flashing lights shining/reflecting on them.  Not sure if it worked. 😂


YAY! word and shadow were die cut from Bristol paper and the letters ombré ink blended with Blueprint Sketch DI.  For some sparkle, covered them with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with clear glitter EP.  The sub sentiment from Birthday Cool was inked with Blueprint Sketch distress oxide ink, heat embossed with clear glitter EP as well, then die cut out with a Quick Strips die (NBUS).  Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.

This really takes me back. (Showing my age now. LOL!) The disco dancers are fabulous but it's the way you showed them off in your design that's really eye catching. Thanks for playing with Seize the Birthday Trina!
