Candy Bars And Birthday's

 Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card made for one of the challenges for Splitcoaststampers Virtual Stamp Night (VSN).  Now I've had this stamp for at least 7 or 8 years but I don't seem to use it as much as I should since it's easy to color.  The entire image on my card is the entire stamp - no masking, fussy cutting, etc required.  So let's get to it.

After stamping my image on some scrap Neenah white card stock, I colored it using my prismacolor and copic markers before stippling some Tim Holtz tumbled glass and mowed lawn distress ink around the edges then layering.  Once that was finished, I took my card base and dry embossed only half of the card using an old Tim Holtz tree bark embossing folder with my Big Shot© before adding a scrap of designer paper to create my border.  The final touches were adding brads to the layered image, and adhering using some pop up glue dots, I highlighted the Happy Birthday using a black gel pen before taking a fingernail and distressing the edges of the panel.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out since I made it while dealing with a migraine and sinus infection/bronchitis.

Challenges entered:
 
Splitcoaststampers MAR23VSNB Mixed Greens - Use 3 Different Green (used wasabi, kiwi kiss, gable green, mowed lawn on image for good measure)
