Hi everyone, here I am again with another make inspired by Simon Says (Monday)'s current 13th birthday challenge - another birthday card where I have chosen once again to play with another of my new A&C stamps... I'm on a bit of a roll with these at the moment!
This was a pretty simple card, though I did have 2 or 3 attempts at the background before I was happy!! I cut a square of stamping card and dragged three colours of Distress oxide over the centre of the card and spritzed with water. I stamped various A&C silhouette stamps including my new periwinkle and my recent Heart Grunge set which I hadn't actually inked until now; then stamped a co-ordinating grungy birthday sentiment by Visible Image. I simply matted the finished panel onto black and pink card stock and my card blank, and finished with some white Posca spatters and gel pen highlights on the flowers..
Stamps: AALL & Create #987 Periwinkle, #453 Heart Grunge; Visible Image Birthday Wishes (sentiment);
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, Spiced Marmalade); Versafine (black); Posca pen (white); gel pen (white).
Challenges I would like to enter:

Beautiful Blossoms #7 - Anything Floral Goes (6th entry)

Thanks for the inspiration. I love how your inky background looks and how great the stamped images look against it. The contrast between the black and the multi-colors is fabulous. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Birthday Challenge.
