Warm Birthday Wishes

This week I am having some fun with "Warm Wishes" from High Hopes to make a birthday card for one of my brothers. We are all at the age where we need more then three candles on our cake, so why not call on your favourite dragon to light the "large" amount of candles we will need this year to light them all at once!?!

I coloured up this fun stamp with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. I cut my background pieces to fit my design and used a die cut to cut the balloons. I tried a couple of matching colours for the inset balloons but they just didn't look right so I went with the same colour. 
It is hard to see in the photo but I added clear sparkle pen to the balloons to get the touch of bling I like to add to my cards if I can. 
I stamped the sentiment and mounted it on matching cardstock. I love how the letters are slanted - it looks like the wind from the dragons fire is blowing them around! 
Some matching ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

This is Warm Wishes (S106) and Make A Wish (F035) sentiment.  This little dragon makes me chuckle with lighting those candles!

I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I applied some Glossy Accents to the flame, to give it a "glow". 

The main image was die cut using a stitched rectangle die.  SU Green Galore Cardstock was used for the card base and some SU Tempting Turquoise cardstock was used for layering.  The designer paper is from Taylored Expressions-Double the Fun 6x6 paper pad.  Foam tape was used under the main image and sentiment to give it some dimension.  For the sentiment, it was stamped with a versamark ink pad then heat embossed using white embossing powder.  To complete this card, a bunch of YNS-White Sugar Gumdrops were added on the top right corner and bottom centre.  

 

Supplies Used:

Ink - Tombow Markers - 491, N60, N75, 055, 985, 977, 969, 126, 133, 856, and 452.  Versamark Ink Pad, White & Black Embossing Powder.

 

Paper - Taylored Expressions - Double the Fun 6x6 Paper Pad; SU Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore & White Cardstock.

 

Misc - Glossy Accents, Stitched Rectangle Die, YNS-White Sugar Gumdrops, Water Brush, Foam Tape, and Glue Dots.
