Have a Cool Birthday!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer's anyone else longing for warm summer days again?! It's been so wet and miserable recently that I decided to create my own summer's day instead, I just love that cheeky little skunk with their two fab ice lollies. It does look a tad warm in front of that hot sun though.

To make my card I used the Skies the Limit Slimline Dies which I cut out twice from white 360gsm card making sure to keep all of the cut out pieces. I then adhered the two die cuts together and layered on top of another piece of white card. 

Taking the die cut pieces I ink blended Squeezed Lemonade and Dried Marigold for the sun and Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans for the sky. Adding splatters on top using the same colours. Once dried I adhered the pieces back together. 

For the grass I took some white card the same length and used the Slimline Hillside Scene Dies to cut out the grass. I ink blended this with Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness Distress oxide again adding splatters with the same colours. 

The last thing to do for my card was colour up those cute critters from the Cool Critters Stamp Set. I used Copic markers to colour them up using a small range of colours so they all coordinate. I finished them up by adding some extra details to their cheeks and the skunks ice creams with white gelly roll and some pastel coloured Signo Uniball pens. Once they were all coloured I cut them out using the coordinating dies and adhered them to my card using foam tape to add some depth. 

The last thing to do was add some dots and stars using the pastel pens and a gold gelly roll pen to add a little texture and some more details and that was my card finished up. I hope it brought some sunshine to your day! You can find all the products in the Time for Tea shop and get 10% off your order using code T4TNATALIE10.
