Avery Elle - Birthday Parade

Hey there!

Here is a birthday card I really enjoyed making! This stamp set is absolutely beautiful, I had a lot of fun coloring the images and creating the brick wall.

I first started by stamping all the images (I used the turtle die to make sure the flag would be perfectly aligned) on watercolor paper using my Misti tool so I can stamp everything multiple times to get crisp lines. While I was at it, I gold heat embossed my sentiment using my new favorite embossing powder.

I colored the image using watercolor pens, and cut them using the coordinating dies.

In order to create the pavement on my card, I masked a part of my watercolor paper and applied grey distress ink. Then I masked that part, and applied white embossing paste using a stencil to create my wall. Once everything dry, I applied dark red distress ink on it to make it look more realistic.

I attached my images on the panel using foam squares, applied clear glitter and glossy accents here and there, and added some clear sequins to finish the card.
