Hello friends! Justin here, and I’m having so much fun with color when it comes to the new March Release items! For this birthday card, I was entirely inspired by the color palette used in the Good Times Glitter Enamel Dots!
Below is a list of products that I used to create this card:
Pink & Main Products Used:
It’s a Celebration Stamp Set
It’s a Celebration Coordinating Dies
Good Times Glitter Enamel Dots
Fireworks Embossing Folder
Premium Dye Inks: Dress Shop, Construction, The Park, Lakeside & Night Sky
Asphalt Cardstock
Frosting Embossing Powder
Embossing Watermark Ink Pad
Magic Anti-Static Brush
Foam Tape
Other Key Products Used:
Copic Markers
Distress Oxide Inks: Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry & Crackling Campfire
White Linen Shimmer Spray
Alright, let’s get to the card making!
I started off my card by stamping the (3) candle images from It’s a Celebration and coloring them up with with my Copic markers. I also stamped out a series of the smaller images included in the stamp set by using the following Premium Dye Colors: Dress Shop, Construction, The Park, Lakeside & Night Sky. I used the It’s a Celebration Coordinating Dies to cut the images out and set them aside.
Next, on Asphalt Cardstock brushed with the Magic Anti-Static Brush, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the It’s a Celebration stamp set in Embossing Watermark Ink and then heat embossed the sentiment with Frosting Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating dies to cut this out as well.
For my background, I took an A2-sized piece of blending cardstock and blended an ombré of the following Distress Oxide Inks, from top to bottom: Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry & Crackling Campfire. I spritzed the panel with water and then dabbed the panel with a microfiber cloth to pick up the water and create bleach spots. I misted the back of the panel, put it inside the Fireworks Embossing Folder, and processed it through my die cutting machine. Once my panel was embossed, I trimmed it down to 4″ x 5.25″ and splattered some White Linen Shimmer Spray. I set it aside to dry.
Once the panel was dry, I adhered it to an A2-sized card base. I then used foam tape to adhere my sentiment in the center of the card. Using liquid adhesive, I adhered all the smaller images to my card as well. I finished off my card by applying some Good Times Glitter Enamel Dots and was completed!
