Hello and welcome! We’re having a new challenge over at Seize the Birthday and this time, the optional Topping chosen by our leading lady Vicki is to ‘Add a Sky‘. Of course, as always, the Anything Goes topping is still applicable.
And here’s what I made –
I used My Favorite Things Sky High Friends to stamp over watercolor paper using Antique Linen distress ink and watercolored using more distress inks. For the background I used rougher watercolor paper and added a wash using Gansai Tambi watercolor, then splattered it with water to make it a starry night sky.
I first adhered the watercolor wash background over black cardstock. Once everything was dry, I fussy cut the images and foam mounted them over the card. I also directly adhered the watercolored and fussy cut stars over the background watercolor paper. Before fuzzy cutting, however, to avoid having any white showing up, I colored the white spaces using the same blue that I used for the night sky.
For the sentiment, I used Simon Says Stamp Magical Birthday and Winnie & Walter Sentimental: Birthday stamp sets and white heat embossed the sentiments over black cardstock and foam mounted it on my card.
And that’s my card. Checkout the Seize the Birthday challenge blog for more inspiration from our talented DT and from our guests.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
