Maybe it isn't YOUR birthday but I am sure it is someone's birthday!!!! I won't waste any of your time rambling on today and will go right to my card!!!
The size of this card is 5 1/2" square. The layout is based on Cindy's MFTSC14. The base of my card is Brilliant Blue which is a color I NEVER use but with these new Jersey Shore decorative papers, I have new found "like" not love, of the color!!! The first mat is Pumpkin Pie cardstock in which I first stamped my sentiment from MFT ~ Punny Farm set using Brilliant Blue ink. I then used my Cuttlebug ~ spots & dots embossing folder on the lower part of my Pumpkin paper. The striped paper is from the Jersey Shore decorative paper pack (SU!) and matted using Wild Wasabi cardstock. Actually, all of the decorative paper is from the Jersey Shore pack. The Brilliant Blue polka dot strip under the cows is matted on Whisper White cardstock and the ribbon is the new SU! striped Pumpkin grosgrain ribbon. To do the focal piece, I used the Cows from the Punny Farm set and the flowers and stems are from the Boho Blossom set.
I first stamped the cow on the left using Basic Black ink on Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the cow again on scrap typing paper, cut it out and laid it on top of my first cow. I then stamped the middle cow up and over the first masked cow. I then stamped the third cow. I colored the cows spots with my Copic ~ Spica ~ black glitter pen. I used a blender pen and Wild Wasabi ink pad to color the stems on the flowers in the cows mouths. I colored each flower either Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie and Brilliant Blue using my markers. I then went over them with my Copic ~ Spica ~ clear glitter pen. The flowers and stems are in the Boho Blossom set. The stem is actually longer but what I did was ink it up on the edge of the Wild Wasabi ink pad leaving a little of the top part off the ink pad because it would have been too long. I then stamped the flowers with Pumpkin, Brilliant Blue and Bashful Blue ink. I added clear Heidi Swapp crystals to the center of each flower. I colored the "grass" using a blender pen and Wild Wasabi & Creamy Caramel ink pads. I punched the balloon using my Quickutz die and tied orange string for the balloon string. I mounted this on the front of the card using dimensionals.
I have lots more stuff I am working on so I need to get busy!!! Thanks for stopping by!
