Birthday Dots

...  Hello, good afternoon. I've had a fun morning in my craft room making birthday cards for my father-in-law. This is the card my Mum is sending to Simon:


Stamps: Gina K - Birthday Cheer Mini, Stuck on You
Inks: Gina K - Sea Glass, Jelly Bean Green, Tranquil Teal; Versafine Claire - Nocturne; Versafine - Onyx Black
Dies: Gina K - Stuck on You
Accessories: White & Black Card; Taylored Expressions Stencil - Big Circles; Clear Embossing Powder; Copic Markers

I'm submitting this card to Color Throwdown - CTD#787 - love these colours, Addicted to Stamps and More - ATSM#465 - die cuts and/or stencils, and to The Male Room - TMR#185 - embossing.



I placed the big circles stencil on white card and used blending brushes to add colour to the circles. I trimmed the panel to be slightly smaller than a US A2 size note card. I edged the panel with a dark grey marker and stamped a bold birthday greeting in black ink, which I embossed with clear powder. I added the panel to the front of the note card. I finished the front with a fun die cut cactus, which I'd stamped, coloured with Copic markers, re-stamped and heat embossed with clear powder. 


Inside the card, I cut a piece of black card for the mat layer. On the white panel I stamped a greeting and added another cute cactus.


That's all for today - I'm off to make dinner. We're having duck for a special treat. See you soon.

I love the colour choice on this fun card, Deborah. The spotty stencil is so gorgeous and I love that the inside looks just as good.
Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM.
