Thanks for popping by. You might have noticed my new blog header which I made following a tutorial by my friend and STAMPlorations Teamie Becca. It's a fab tutorial and very easy to follow.
For today's inspiration post over at STAMPlorations, I'm sharing a card which was inspired by this month's CASEplorations project featuring a card by Laura Bassen. You can find all the details about January CASEplorations here.
I used a similar background to my last card but not as shaded. However I did try to add some sponged texture by simply dabbing the ink with a worn baby wipe after I had done my initial sponging using Basic Grey ink and the ARTPlorations Old Rose Prints stencil. Next I stamped the HAPPY from the Big Greetings set and coloured it in rainbow colours. I then did some 2nd generation stamping on a separate strip and over stamped it with 'birthday'. I picked up one of my scribble die cuts and layered everything as seen finishing off with a few sequins.
Here is a close-up of my topper ...

Like how you added texture to your BG! I'm including this card in a CASEplorations reminder post on Saturday ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - the rainbow colored sentiment and the grey background stencil! I love it when our DT projects kind of match!
