Happy Birthday!

Happy Sunday! And I'm showcasing another birthday card! As usual, I'm using mostly Lawn Fawn products. I have been investing in other lines of stamps too, so I'll start making cards with their stamps soon!

The background and clouds were created using a dark blue sheet from the Beachside Petite Paper Pack as well as the Puffy Cloud Borders. I adhered the clouds using some scor-tape and popped up the foremost layer with foam tape. I used some Neenah cardstock for the base.

The bird, mouse, balloon, and cake from Elphie Selfie, skunk and heart from Stinkin' Cute, otter and presents from Year Five, and plate from Let's BBQ were stamped with Lawn Fawn's jet black ink. Each image was watercolored with Tombow dual brush pens and then fussy cut. To give it a more finished look, I used a black marker on the edges after cutting as well as for darkening the animals' eyes and noses.

For some dimension, I attached foam tape to the top half of the balloon, the pink present, and the cake. I adhered the rest of the images as well as the string on the balloon with glue. The reflective look on the balloon was drawn with a white glaze pen.

I had die cut the Happy Birthday Border using a light blue cardstock. To affix the greeting, I glued it in the same piece it was die cut from as a guide and trimmed off the excess.

I stamped the sentiment from Year Five with tuxedo black ink and added some clear glitter to the balloon, cake frosting, candle flames, and heart to finish off the card.

As I was writing this post, I realized the ears on the skunk look like they haven't been colored in (the pink is very light) haha! I'll need to fix that.
