Celebrate Your Day

Hello Everyone,

Well I have been missing the last month, as I've had major computer issues. But now I am back with a card featuring Avery Elle stamps for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with the theme Anything goes, who doesn't love the anything goes theme.......

I started with a circle stencil and distress ink, but only inking about 3/4 of the way up. Then stamped the frilled banner in versafine onyx black and the lanterns in ranger dye ink classic cherry and each has a dose of clear wink of stella brush, I stamped extra circles from the stamp set in oranges and yellows, and the little star bursts in gold ink and clear heat embossed them to match the gold matting for the card. The sentiment is from the same set stamped in versafine onyx black ink.

I had a lot of fun creating this card and I hope you enjoy it to

I would like to enter my card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes

So I thought my card fitted both of these great challenges. I started with copic blending card for my base, as I wanted to create my own background with these cute cupcakes from Lawn Fawn Birthday Tags, all coloured with copic's and the icing has clear Wink of Stella glitter pen. The fishtail dotted tag is from Avery Elle and sponged with distress ink after I masked off the edges with micro pore tape. I stamped and coloured the little bird, then die cut it with the coordinating die and cut out three balloons all from the Hello Sunshine stamp & dies from Lawn Fawn. I coloured the balloons with copics and added wink of stella to those as well, I have hand drawn the balloon strings and stamped the wire for the bird to sit on. The piece of patterned paper is from my stash, The sentiments are also from birthday tags and stamped with versafine onyx black ink. I added some little sprinkles from doodlebug, these are gorgeous!
Here is the inside of my card, just to tie in with the front, I also added a piece of white card stock to the other inside piece as the colouring did bleed through from the front.

 These are the copic markers I used

Now I had a blast making this card and you still have heaps of time to enter both these great challenges.
