Birthday Card

Two Posts in one day! just a quickie. This is a birthday card I've made for my husband's birthday which is on Wednesday. I really like to use this Graphic 45 stamp of the jazz band with a vibrant background as I think it adds to the already joyful image. The background has been created using stamps from Tim Holtz's Bitty Grunge collection. I've used a Kaliedacolor rainbow inkpad in Calypso and Tims enamelled stamping technique. The band have been stamped separately and cut out and mounted on dimensional pads. They've had a little colour added to them with Distress Markers. I'm entering this into The Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge which is all about 'Colour'. So that's me done for today. x

    I've wondered about those rainbow inkpads Toni - boy oh boy it works fabulously here. The band stamp is amazing and love how you have coloured and popped it. Such a fun, vibrant, mardi gras card. Happy Birthday to your Hubby! Nicola x
