Hello and thanks for stopping by!  

I have another birthday card to share with you, this time a CAS card made for my sister.   I colored my image with copic markers, sprinkled glitter on the frosting and added Little B washi tape to the card base.  I'll be playing along in the following challenges:

Sprinkled with Stardust

Altenew Majestic Bloom Stamp & Die; Penny Black Sprinkles and Smiles sentiment;
Avery Elle Wonky Stitches Die; Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers

Hello and thank you for stopping by!

For this card, I used the Altenew stamp and die set, Majestic Bloom.   Instead of stamping the flower and leaves in colored layers, I heat embossed the outline images in gold and watercolored them with Zig markers.  With a gold layout in mind, I used gold cardstock (Bazzill Gold Leaf) for my mat, embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder (Wow Gold Rich Pale) and glued a few gold sequins onto the Wonky Stitches frame.

Here are some challenges I'll be linking to:

Simon Says Stamp "Only Have Eyes For You";  Inkadinkado stamp "Halloween" sentiment;

Lawn Fawn "A Birdie Told Me" die; Distress Inks; Copic Markers

My inspiration for this card came from the card challenge below and a technique that I recently learned from Jennifer McGuire--"how to create a backdrop for a stamped image".  I positioned my stamp in the Misti stamping tool and then I repeatedly stamped the spiderweb by moving my card front (not the stamp) slightly downward each time.   Before I did that, however, I masked off the sides with masking tape and ink distressed the area with Distress Inks.  I fussy cut my image to give it some dimension.

I'll be linking my card to the following challenges:
