Happy Birthday


It's time for another challenge over on the Lawnscaping Challenge blog.  The new challenge is to Create a Scene.  I pulled out the Critters on the Farm set to use for my card.

I used some Eclipse Masking tape to create some masks and then stamped my image using tuxedo black memento ink on copic x-press it cardstock.  I colored my image with these copic markers: YR21, YR23, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9, E55, E57, R22, R24, R27, R46, R89, R30, R32, E31, E33, E35, E37, C1, C3, BG01, YG17, colorless blender.  I tore a piece of eclipse masking tape to mask the sky and ground and used my air compressor and copic markers to spray them.

I die cut the image with a labels 8 nestability die and used some patterned papers from Echo Park's Sweet Summertime line.  I used Bannerfic to stamp the banner and a sentiment from Bake Me a Cake.

Hop on over to the Lawnscaping Challenge blog to see the rest of the cards created by the design team and to join us in the challenge.

Have a great week!
