Have A Fun-tastic Birthday

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a slimline card featuring products by Crafty Meraki and My Favorite Things. 


I began my slimline card with a 3.5" x 8.5" card base.  I cut a piece of bristol card and used the MFT Mini Cloud Edges Stencil and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink to create the clouds.  I also sponged the distress ink onto an extra piece of bristol card to use later for the sentiment.


Next, I stamped some images from the MFT Balloon Besties stamp set, colored them with copics, and diecut them using the coordinating dies.  I used the Crafty Meraki Birthday Slimline Tag Die to diecut one sentiment from the sponged bristol card and one from black cardstock.  I adhered the two diecuts together with liquid adhesive, offsetting them a bit.  I then adhered the birthday diecut to my card with foam tape.


I heat embossed the secondary sentiment and adhered it on the birthday diecut.  I used a glitter pen on the balloons to give them some sparkle and then adhered all the images with foam tape.

We Have A Birthday

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a slimline card featuring products by Crafty Meraki and My Favorite Things.  


I decided to make a slimline card so that I could create a scene using the images from the MFT BB Space Explorer stamp set.  I first cut a panel of bristol card and inked it with Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I spattered the panel with white watercolor paint and once dry, adhered it to the base of my card.  Next, I used the Crafty Meraki Frame-Worthy Slimline Die to diecut a white frame for my card.

 
I stamped all the images, colored them with my copics, and then fussy-cut them.  I applied Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to the balloons an stars and I used Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the rocket window and helmet face-shield.  I diecut a circle from white cardstock, used my copics to shade and color a "moon", and stamped a sentiment.  I adhered the frame and all the colored images with foam tape.

Copics:
Skin - E13, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20, R00
