Happy BIG birthday..

Hello everyone,

and happy Wednesday to you. Time for another challenge over at the Stampotique blog. Today's host is the lovely Kathi and here's what she said :

'21, 25, 50, 60th Birthday or Anniversary -- It's time to celebrate! Let's see a project that celebrates those sometimes scary milestones of life!'

So, I made this card: 

I figured, if it is scary you don't want a number on there, lol... 

I started with a blank card panel on which I stamped the presents. I also stamped them on white card stock and coloured them with my trusty Copic Markers. I then cut the image out. 

Next I coloured the panel with Distress Inks and a blending tool using yellows and oranges. I dripped some water over it, dried it and then dripped some white ink to make the spots a little more obvious. I also did some background stamping and a little doodling around the edge. I then glued the coloured presents on top of the stamped ones on the panel. 

Lastly I stamped the sentiment, cut it out, doodled around the edges and adhered it to the panel. 

I used the following stamps:
