An artsy style Birthday

I love this super cute easel board/clipboard die from reverse confetti, its super cute and I can't wait to do more with it.  The stamped image is from Technique Tuesday as are the happy birthday dies.

So I started with a rough wash of distress inks.  I then stamped dots over the ink wash.

Die cut and added the dies over the wash section, added the happy birthday diecuts and was nearly finished.

SOme cute little additions to this card were using crystal effects on the water section of the water in the vase, white gel pen to highlight the easel board, and finally, the little black dot over the "i" in birthday was made using ranger black enamel (I love this product)

Cute isn't it?  I just coloured the flowers in roughly with distress markers, it didn't need to be perfect as that wasn't the look I was going for.

Thats it for now

I'm Baaacckkk......

Happy 2016 peeps, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!  Mine was lovely and quiet for a change!  Well School went back yesterday, we are half way through our summer, its been quite warm/hot here in Adelaide, but I am really enjoying that, except for today where its rained and even flooded in some parts of our state :(  making it quite muggy (blerk)!

Anyway I thought I would share a new card with you tonight.  Valentines is just around the corner - yep Already! Wherever did January go.

I have some exciting new products I have bought over the summer on this card, the list of them used will be below pictures.  I did head on over to Mojo Monday for a sketch image, after all it has been months since I stamped and I really needed a starting point ha ha ha.
