Happy Birthday - Pop Art Style

Hi everyone

I have another swap card for you today with another technique which has been inspired by a video from Natasha Foote 

Inkadinkado Cupcake stamp was stamped using Black Staz On onto four different scraps of patterned paper and then fussy cut.  Four squares were die cut, then mounted onto front of card with 3d foam.  Hand drawn crooked black borders added to squares.  Centre square die cut & stamp with 'Happy Birthday' from Stampin' Up Voila set.

Square Cardstock & patterned papers from Blue Edge Crafts. 

Quite a different card for me, but I think I like it  LOL

Happy Birthday Sharon

It's my Sister-in-Law's birthday during February, around the same time as our Wedding Anniversary.  

We usually get together to celebrate as a family, and this year was no different other than it was a little bit later than normal!  But hey, we got there in the end!

I have been really trying to be more creative with my cards and trying new techniques - one such technique from Natasha Foote caught my eye :)  

In her video titled We can use WHATEVER you have Natasha shares a technique of placing multiple diecut stamped images close together then cutting them out in a heart shape using a heart die.  I don't have a heart die, but I was quite taken with the end result.

So using what I have on hand, I stamped and coloured in my images with Copics and then die cut them.  

As I didn't have a heart shape, I used an oval Spellbinders Die as my shape and placed all the die cuts accordingly.  A little touch of Kindy Glitz here and there and the empty spaces were filled in with some bling (of course).  As the card seemed a bit bare, I sponged the background to give the oval a bit more definition.

The sentiment is from Inkadinkado 'Cupcake' stamp set.
