Celebrate Your Birthday

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here sharing a birthday card set in the desert that I created using the Happy Hump Day stamp set from Time For Tea Designs. It has been horribly hot and humid where I am, we are in the middle of a heat wave, and I am not a fan of the heat! How is it where you are?

I used the Sun Ray Cover Die (on sale now!) to cut Distress White Heavy cardstock by Ranger. I ink-blended (using my Beautiful Rainbow Blender Brushes) on Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide onto the rays section of the resulting die-cut. I added Fired Brick Distress Oxide splatter with a paintbrush and water and white splatter with Copic opaque white.

For the sky sections of the die-cut, I ink-blended Salty Ocean Distress Oxide and added white splatter with a paintbrush, water and Copic opaque white. I used the Landscape Edge Standalone Die to create the sand and ink-blended Antique Linen and Tea Dye and added Vintage Photo Distress Oxide and Copic opaque white splatter. 

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images (and the It's Your Birthday sentiment) from the Happy Hump Day stamp set and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen and sparkles to the edges of some images with a Quickie Glue Pen and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter.

The 'celebrate' is from the Large Scallop Celebrate Frame Dies that I cut with black and white cardstock and glued together slightly apart to create a shadow effect.

I used liquid glue to stick down the sunray die sections and the sandy area to an A2 card base. I stuck the images to the card base using a combination of liquid glue and double-sided foam tape for dimension.
