A birthday card today, inspired by a sketch on Freshly Made Sketches and Colour selection from Just Add Ink
I used my own handmade circle stencil, made with Spellbinders Circle dies & acetate, to make the 'bubbles' using blending brushes on a white 210gsm cardfront.
'Happy Birthday' from MFT 'Adorable Elephants' stamped directly to the cardfront in Black, trimmed to suit with a blue border added to define the edge. Cardfront was then added to 300gsm cardbase using 3D foam.
Two cocktail glasses & umbrellas from Sugar Pea Stamps 'Cheers to You' were stamped, die-cut & coloured in with Copics then layered onto the cardfront with 3D foam ... and a finishing touch of Kindy Glitz/Stickles & bling.
I used Distress Inks - Twisted Citron, Tumbled Glass & Mustard Seed - they are the closest to the Just Add Ink colours I have.
I am quite pleased with this card - I hope you like it too!
**UPDATED** Oooh - My card was chosen Princess of Clean by Judy for Freshly Made Sketches!
