Putting It Together

I wanted to do another colour block Distress Ink panel for this card, but the card making took me in a different direction than I thought I was going when I started.

I started with putting 4 generous swipes of colours on my plastic work surface. I spritzed them with a Mini Mister filled with water and a bit of Confetti White Perfect Pearls to give the resulting panel a little shimmer.

I laid the watercolour cardstock on the ink and patted the back of the panel to get it fully coloured. I carefully lifted the panel and the resulting colour blocks were gorgeous and vibrant, but..

I noticed there was still a lot of ink on my work surface and it hadn't mixes to a sludgy brown. So, I decided to get a second panel. The resulting panel reminded me of confetti and a birthday card bloomed in my head.

I painted up the Birthday Whoot from Art Impressions using the same colours on the hat and adding browns for the body. I decided not to use his branch so left it uncoloured.

I fussy cut the owl and added a wobble thingy to the back.

I dry fit the wobbly owl on the panel and smiled. I could also cover the splotch I didn't like as much *chuckle*

I die cut "happy birthday" from black glitter paper with multi-colour flecks. Dry fit with the owl, I was pleased with the look.

Before attaching the front panel, I stamped the inside. I used a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp and masked the owl to stamp just the hat. I used 4 colours on the stamps to match the front. I also added some squiggles of Picked Raspberry. 

After affixing the front panel pieces, I added an enamel dot as the dot of the "i" for a bit of fun.

The owl has a fun wobble as well as being popped out with dimension.
