All That Glitters

My Favorite Things

Coloring Virtuoso Category

Welcome Back.

I have another card for the contest going on over at My Favorite Things Blog. This one is for the coloring virtuoso category.

I started the card by taking the Happy Birthday Centerpiece Die-Namics from My Favorite Things to trace the outline of the cake on my Neenah Solar White card panel. I went to the My Favorite Things store, but could not find this anymore, so I apologize that it is not available anymore.

Then I used the smallest rectangle from the A2 Rectangle stacks die-namics and 3M Post It Note tape and created the chevron pattern on the mask to cut it apart. I blended the chevron shape on the middle layer with Lush Lagoon and Poppy inks.

I used the same inks to color in and blend color to the top layer and the bottom layer. I also added some berrylicious to the bottom layer. 

I used some Sour Apple ink and more Post It Note tape to create a stripe of green on the middle layer.

I took a triangular piece of fun foam and EZ Mount static cling mounting foam to make a stamp. I used the stamp and made a banner on the bottom layer first with white pigment ink and then with some coordinating colors.

I used the "Party Balloons" stamp set (not available anymore either:(...) to stamp the starburst image on the bottom layer with VersaMark ink and then silver heat embossed them.

I roughly masked off the cake and used Banana Split and Daffodil inks to blend color on the background. 

I used a variety of Gel pens to color in various details on the layers, candles, flames and background. I then used a Perfect Pearls sticky ink pen to color in shapes on the candle flames and then silver heat embossed them as well.

 I mounted the panel onto a yellow card base.

Hope you have a great day!

I got the inspiration to create this card from a gift bag that I purchased. I like to give cards that go along with bags that I buy.
