It’s Your Day!

Hi there!  Don’t you just love those adorable critters from Neat & Tangled’s Wild Ones?!  I couldn’t pass them up and decided to use them in Little Tangles Challenge 83:  Birthday.

I stamped those cuties with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored them with Copics, and cut them out.  I trimmed the white bottom portion off the presents because I wanted the gifts to rest on the giraffe’s back seamlessly.  I added some details and highlights with a white gel pen before going to town with clear Wink of Stella.  I knew I wanted to have the friends lined up as though they’re marching to a party, so I made a 5″ x 7″ card from black cardstock to have enough room for them.

To create the background, I used Neat & Tangled’s new Balloon Duo stencil and distress inks.  The ink colors I used are Festive Berries, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, and Weathered Wood.  I masked off the balloons before flicking some water droplets onto the ground and then blotted it dry.  I painted the little highlight on the balloons with a damp paintbrush.  The balloon strings were hand-drawn with a black Sharpie.  Once my background was dry, I heat-embossed a sentiment from Neat & Tangled’s Hooray set, adhered the panel to my card, and popped up my stamped images with foam tape.  For a little more sparkle, I added some sequins from Craftin Desert Divas.

The party continues on the inside of my card.  I adhered some white cardstock and stamped “go wild” from Wild Ones in black.  I also added some of the confetti images from the set in shades of yellow and orange.

Thank you for stopping by!
