I made a magical birthday card for the challenge.
I created my background by sponging distress inks – Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. I started with a light hand with all the inks, then came back thrice to get a good blend and intense colour. I then spattered the panel with water and copic opaque white. Love spatter on the background.
I then stamped the images from Secret Garden stamp set and copic coloured the image. Die cut them all out using the coordinating dies. I then adhered the images on the panel. Some flush glued and others using foam adhesive for dimension. I used Sakura white gel pen to add some interest to some of the coloured areas. The Nuvo Crystal Drops on the centre of the flowers and on the toadstool. Then I stamped the sentiment on the top right using MISTI and Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Finally embellished with the sparkly clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
Love how this card turned out. Honestly I made this card last minute. I am waiting for my New Beginning release goodies to arrive. I wanted to use them to make my take for the challenge. So that why I had to do this last minute and pretty good huh! lol!
