Anyone else struggle with making birthday cards? I have some time to craft this Holiday weekend and when I saw that the current Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme is Party Time, I decided it was good time to try and crank out some birthday cards. I'm always on the hunt for some stamp set that inspire me to create a birthday card and when Penny Black came out with the adorable Together Forever stamp set, I had to have it.
I first created the sky background by stamping weathered wood and tumbled glass distress inks onto my craft mat. I spritzed with water and then dragged the card stock through it. I colored the image with copics and fussy cut the bear and balloons. I wanted to pop up a couple of balloons so I stamped again and cut those out and popped them up with foam adhesive. I added some Glossy Accents to the balloons. I layer ed the balloons just outside the panel so the bear and his balloons could be floating up outside the panel. I stamped a sentiment from the Papertrey Ink Just Sentiments: Birthday stamp set and heat embossed another sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strips 3 stamp set. I matted the image pane in back and layered it over the confetti pane that I created using the cool Concord and 9th Celebrations Turnabout stamp set.
