I'm so excited about my Last Thursdays Monthly Cards Class tonight! I designed this birthday card to be quick and colorful, and I love that it's versatile enough to be given to anyone at any age!
The Outlined Occasions Sale-A-Bration stamp set and the Patterned Party set are featured on these Two Cool cards! Remember you have until March 31 to earn the Outlined Occasions (or any Sale-A-Bration selection) for FREE! See the Sale-A-Bration promotion details!
Although there are a couple background layers, all of the stamped images are on only one layer—that's so unlike me! It's fun to try something a little different!
I used the direct-to-marker coloring technique on the balloon image with Pacific Point, Lucky Limeade, Rich Razzleberry and Basic Black markers.
The "celebrate" is colored in with the same colors. I used markers for the confetti, and Classic Ink and a Blender Pen to color the words.
And, I just HAD to add some sparkle over the balloons and word by drawing over the top with a 2-Way Glue Pen and sprinkling on some Dazzling Diamonds!
Everything is wrapped up with an Old Olive Scalloped Dots Ribbon! So festive!
If you couldn't make it to my Last Thursdays class this month, be sure to mark your calendar for the next Last Thursdays Cards Class event—March 29 at 6:30pm!
