Happy birthday

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a birthday card. We all need them don't we. This will be my last project for AALL & Create for a while at least. I have been on DT's for more years than I can remember and want to have some time off to do other things. This doesn't mean that I will stop paper crafting.. 

Here's how:

First I cut out one of the cards from this die set #26 - Frayed Frames. 

I used a blending tool and Distress Oxide Inks Spiced Marmalade and Kitsch Flamingo to colour the card. I then spritzed water on stencil #171 and put it wet side down on the card. I put a piece of kitchen paper on it to mop up the water and this is the result after drying. They water 'bleaches' the ink. Cool isn't it?

Next, stamping. I used set #963 with white embossing powder and then stamped the x and o stamp from set #494 with Versafine Clair in Morning Mist. 

I couldn't resist to add some rub-ons. I used sets #5 and #10.

I then stamped the images I wanted to use. I was going to use the bows on her hair but they are slightly to big, especially on the right. It ends up in front of her eye. She wouldn't be able to see ! 

I ended up not using the bows. I coloured all the images with Copic Markers. 

To finish the card I drew some lines as strings for the balloons and used a coloured pencil to add some shading under het feet. Lastly I added the sentiment and mounted the card on a white card base.
