My boyfriend's sister is one of those that have tons of friends, always surrounded by them and loves to have a good time, won't say no to a party. I love that about her! I thought this card would be perfect for her using the bird stamps, dies and accessories. I made the background and am happy with how it turned out.
The background is so simple and such a wow factor! All I did was rub a few colors of Tim Holtz Distress Ink across my kraft mat (it wipes right off). I laid my piece of watercolor paper on top of this ink and gently pressed all over. I used a heat gun to dry it. If you have areas of water, you can dab with a paper towel then use heat gun. Then I put a little bit of water in my hand and trickled droplets onto the watercolor paper and let it sit a minute or so and dabbed it with a paper towel and that is where you see the white areas, the spots.
I colored the birds, hats, and present with Copics and a glitter pen and cut the birds out with the matching dies. I fussy cut the hats and present because I don't have dies but I'm getting a Scan N' Cut around 10/9 and I'll try to cut the accessories out with this. I'll do a blog post to let you know how this goes. I added a few silver sequins to the out and insides. I used a Lawn Fawn stamp on the inside.
I hope you like my card. I love this set so much for men and for fun people! Try some fun backgrounds, there's no right or wrong.
