Happy Wednesday...half way to the weekend...woohoo! We are heading into exams at school today, so my marking load is going to triple in the next couple of days! I'm thankful I had some stamping time last weekend, because there may not be any for a while ;)
Today I have a fun birthday card for you...
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may have seen a post over the weekend showing a partially coloured page of flowers and some Stampin' Write markers. This is what I was making! A perfectly retro birthday card for the former flower child in your life :)
I began with a piece of the black and white floral-patterned DSP from the Neutrals Colour Collection stack. I used Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Tangelo Twist and Bermuda Bay markers to colour each little flower. Then I matted it on a piece of gold foil sheets and added some gold foil flower stickers from the All Boxed Up Kit. Totally psychedelic, no? It was the perfect backdrop for my tie-dyed VW Bug from the Beautiful Ride set. I achieved that look by filling an aquapainter with rubbing alcohol and using it to pick up colour from my ink pads. I dabbed the aquapainter on the car image until I had the look I wanted. The wheels and windows are coloured with Smoky Slate and Basic Gray inks. I also heat embossed the word Love in gold.
The sentiment is from the That Thing You Did stamp set. I stamped it in Basic Black ink and then fussy-cut it out. That isn't something I normally do with sentiments, but I really felt like this particular design called for it. I added a little gold glimmer star by way of embellishment.
On the inside I stamped another sentiment from the That Thing You Did set and added a couple more gold foil stickers. This may just be my hubby's next birthday card! Hee-hee :)
Here are the products used to created this project:
