Hey everyone, I'm back today with a mixed up birthday card. Why do I call it mixed up? I call it that because I used a lot of different products and I wasn't sure it was going to work out. My biggest concern was if the delicate flower would work with the bold stenciled background. I am pleased to say I really like it! My encouragement to everyone is to play and try new things because you never know how it will turn out.
I started by creating the background with the mixed up stencil(SNSS) and inks from Concord and 9th(ballet slipper, sprout and sea glass). I die cut the panel, matted with another panel inked along the edges with sea glass and wrapped some white twine along the edge. I used the same ink along with the shiplap background on the white card base and attached the panel to it.
I stamped the images and birthday sentiment with VersaFine Claire Nocturne ink on white cardstock. I colored the flower and leaves with sea glass and ballet slipper ink. I wasn't happy with the color of the flower, so I went over it with an alcohol marker from Altenew(coral berry). I fussy cut the images and glued them to the stenciled panel. I trimmed down the sentiment strip and attached to the front with foam tape. Finally, I stamped the word happy directly on the background and added three colored dots to finish it off.
