Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

I was inspired by a sample by Jane Gill to make this card (the card I made on the last Woodware One Day Special is later on in this post using different products so be sure to scroll down to see it).

For the background, I started by adding a little Scarlet Mist CS Pixie Powder to a piece of Coconut White Card. I spritzed with a little water and blew through a straw to move the ink around. I repeated this with Pewter and Peacock Green Pixie Powders.

Once dry, I stamped several of the sentiments from the Woodware Plenty of Birthdays Stamp Set using Onyx Black Versafine Ink. I cut out using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Rectangles and inked around the edges with CS Misty Grey Chalk Cloud using a Smoothie.  I matted onto Black Card cut fromthe next sized die in the set and popped onto a Coconut White Card blank.

I cut Sue Wilson's Happy Birthday Circle out of Black Card.
 
I stamped the cake and the candle from the same stamp set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Scarlet Mist Pixie Powder using a Water Brush, adding a little Graphmaster BG1 Alcohol Marker as a shadow. I cut out using scissors leaving a thin white border around and added to my card using CE Mounting Cushion.

|I completed my card by adding a 5mm Black Pearl to each corner.

Here's the card I made on the One Day Special shows -

I used misters for the background - Phill Martin Vintage Blue Ink Spray Mist, Phill Martin Old Gold Mister and Pastel Purple Chalk Mister. I edged with Pastel Purple Chalk Mister which I sprayed onto my Craft Sheet and picked up with a piece of Cut n Dry Foam.

I coloured the cake in using CS Summer Garden Watercolour Paint Set and CS Essentials Watercolour Paint Set using a Water Brush.

I thought I would also share the background that Charlie made during the show as we had so much fun doing this -

I added a couple more ideas to the Stained Glass Window techniques on yesterday's post so if you visited before 10:15am yesterday morning, you may want to pop back.
