What fun I had with my new Brutus Monroe stencil, Make A Wish! I masked off the top of my card and inked up using Gina K Innocent Pink, Wild Dandelion. and Sweet Mango inks. I stamped the party hat in Wild Dandelion and then colored in the alternating stripes with Copics to closely match the pink before outlining with my fine-point black pen and fussy cutting. The sentiments stamped are from the same set as the hat, CTMH's Wise Guy Birthday. I used a ruler and drew a line under the stenciled candles and popped up the hat with some foam and added a sparkle to the top.
The card was inspired by (and is linked to) three challenges: CAS Colours & Sketches #454, Hand Stamped Sentiments #381 Color Challenge, and Allsorts #661 Use a stencil.
I love this card! Great combination of the two challenges. The bright colours offset by the white space balance perfectly. Thanks for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
