Birthday Moose with Balloons Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you a card I made for my spotlight over at Jane's Doodles on October 16. That was the day I traveled to Ivanić-Grad. I was so busy, I couldn't find time to share it prior today here.

And here's my card: CAS (clean and simple), Birthday Moose with Balloons Card. :o)

I made this card for my niece Iva, my cousins daughter, who celebrated her 1st birthday couple days ago. The card arrived on time. :o)

To make this card I used stamps from three beautiful Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a moose from 'Outdoors' stamp set, a balloon from 'Monster Squad' stamp set and a sentiment from 'Belated Birthday' stamp set.

  

How I made this card...

I stamped a moose on a watercolor paper. With some masking, I stamped balloons on the watercolor paper. After removing masks, I drew balloon strings.

I watercolored the moose and balloons using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the image and traced edges with black marker. I glued the image on a white cardstock paper and fussy cut it again, leaving thin white border around the image this time. Then I drew light reflections on balloons with a white pigment ink and left the image aside.

I glued a Rainbow striped patterned paper on a white top folded card base, stamped a sentiment on a white cardstock paper panel and glued it on the card base.

Lastly, I glued some 3-D foam on the back of the image and glued it on the card. :o)
