Hello!
I've got tons of late summer birthdays and so it's time to start cranking out the cards! I shopped my stash for some fun kids' imagery and landed on the older MFT Stamps' "BB Perfect Party Animals" Stamp Set! I've had this set for a few years and don't know why I waited so long to use it because I had a blast coloring these cuties!!
I began by inking the background with Pink & Main's "Rainbow Fun" Stencil and four Catherine Pooler Inks. I sprayed the background panels with shimmer mist and spattered them with several colors of metallic watercolors - they really shine in the light! The panels were trimmed to 4" x 5.25" and adhered onto a top-folding A2 card base.
The party animal images were stamped onto 100# white card stock, watercolored and trimmed around the square frame. I die cut the photo frames with an inset window, inserted the colored images into the opening and stamped the sentiment at the bottom.
I stamped/die cut the words "Happy", glued them each to a black die cut and attached them to the top of the photo frames. A black shadow frame was adhered to the card front, the party animal toppers were popped up with foam tape and a few rainbow sequins finished up this fun card set!
Thanks for stopping by & happy crafting!
