Celebrating another Birthday for one of our friends in our IG Crafty Crew group, Sandy IG: (mommyeyedr) so decided to use this cute sketch MFTWSC235 over at MFT card challenge using some new products I got recently.
Wanted to wish Sandy a wonderful belated birthday and hope she enjoys all year long as she is so sweet and supportive. Also, joining in with another favorite challenge with Seize The Birthday. The topping is "
Red, White, and Blue", but it's optional
Here is my card:
Yes, I did start with a blueprint, but this time it's Blueprint 25 which is perfect for A2 card and a nice stitched border. Next, I used Blueprint 23 for the center panel which I than stamped with using Happy Birthday Background and Sweet Tooth pigment in onto After Midnight cardstock. Really love this new blue they came out with.
For the main attraction, I first created some clouds onto white cardstock and die cut using the Cross-Stitch circle. For the grass portion, I die cut using the Stitched Snow Drifts and Sour Apple cardstock. Next, went on to color the ballons using my copic markers and popped up a few ballons using foam mount along with the panda.
For the sentiment, I used Blueprint 25 again along with Tickled Pink cardstock, but since the sentiment was longer than my pink strip, I took away one word. Last but not least, I added some stars which is included in the Blueprints 25 using another new color called: Daffodil.
As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge, please stop over to check out all the inspiration.
