Party Hat Card

Hi everyone! :o)

My second post today... If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here.


Last week it was my brother's birthday and I made this CAS, Party Hat Card for him. :o)

For this card I used 'Party Hat' blueprint stamp. Love Tim Holtz's blueprint images!! I was so happy when Simon Says Stamp sent me this stamp set as a blog hop prize. :o)

I cut out a panel from a white watercolor paper and stamped image on it. I colored it in watercolor technique with Distress Inks. After coloring, the image was too dark, so I added highlights with white pen. When I was satisfied with the image, I glued the panel on a white cardstock base.

Then I heat embossed a sentiment on a piece of black cardstock paper. I glued 3D foams on the back of the sentiment and placed it on the card.

Couple of enamel stickers and my card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions are 101 mm x 132 mm (4" x 5 1/4").
