Since we’re celebrating a birthday today, I have a fun birthday themes card to share using several stamps from the Topflight Stamps store. Here’s how it all came together!...
I cut a piece of white Hammermill cardstock to 4” x 5.25” and ink blended the entire panel with Distress Ink in Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio. Then randomly stamped some images with grey ink from AALL and Create "Define Party" stamp set to create some interest in the background.
Next I used this very fun Polkadoodles Celebration stencil all over the panel that I spread Glitter Paste over.
The super sweet giraffe from Carabelle Studio "Party Giraffe" was then stamped on watercolor paper. I watercolored him with a variety of Distress Inks, but mostly Fossilized Amber and Walnut Stain. Once it was dry, I fussy-cut the image.
Then I stamped the cupcakes from AALL and Create "Cupcakes" also on watercolor paper. I watercolored the image with Distress Ink Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed, and Picked Raspberry. I also fussy-cut the two cupcakes.
Now it’s just time to put it together! I tucked the giraffe into the cupcakes and also popped some of the front images up with foam tape.
Thank you for hopping along with us! I hope you enjoy all the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel I love your card. There is nothing like a Party Giraffe with a really tall pompom party hat. Just watch out when he is dancing. Everyone knows a giraffe’s favorite place to be is in between two big cupcakes he can eat. I like the “Define Party” stamp I will need to put that one in my Wish List. The touch of glitter past with the streamers is so pretty. I can't wait to see what you make next.
ReplyDeleteAwesome card
