Hello and welcome. Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by GinaK Designs. I would like to take a moment to thank Gina for sponsoring this week's challenge. My card this week features a retired set of Gina's called Birthday Hoot. I bought it last year and hadn't used it yet. I absolutely love it since the set makes the cutest cards and not just for birthday's. It can be used for anniversaries, just because (don't ink the party hat), etc.
I started out by stamping the owl/balloons in memento tuxedo black ink on to copic© white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers before drawing some tree branches then coloring. Once my coloring was finished, I dusted off my dusty Stampin Up Watercolor Minis stamp set and created the "leaves" using various colors of Stampin Up ink then layering and adding some faux brads. Taking the birthday greeting from my retired Sincere Salutations set, I stamped the greeting before stamping the inside "I hope your birthday is a hoot". I then adhered my layered image panel to a dry embossed card before adding googlie eyes and some copper bling. As an afterthought, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink to help fill in the sky. I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out.
