My Favorite Things - Bubbly Birthday

The moment I set eyes on the new stamp set Bubbly Birthday by MFT Stamps my brain flooded with several ideas for how to design with it, so here is my second card this month that I'm sharing with it in use.   Read on for all the details.




The card started with me creating two A2 panels of cardstock.  One using Cornflower and the other Something Blue.   I die cut the darker panel of Cornflower using Watercolor Wash Free Form Die-namics  and then I used Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxides to ink blend the outer edges of the underwater cave opening.

With the Something Blue panel I did a very light amount of ink blending with Blue Yonder and Blue Beyond Inks and then I dried this with my heat gun.   Following this I layered over the Ray of Light stencil and I used White Pigment Ink to blend in the streaks of bright sunlight.  I removed the stencil and again used my heat gun to dry it.   I grabbed my embossing buddy and prepped the surface and then stamp in some bubbles from Bubbly Birthday using Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white.   Whilst I had the ink and embossing powder out I also stamped and embossed the sentiment.




I backed the darker die-cut panel with foam tape and applied it to the backing panel.   I applied the sentiment strips with more foam tape and set this to one side.

I stamped the Mermaid and coloured her with the following Copic colours:-


Skin -  E11, E21, E00, E0000
Pinks - R22, R21, R20, R00, R000
Purples - V12, V01, RV00
Mints - G00, BG10, BG70
Yellows - Y17, Y15, Y06
Shading - W4, W3, W2, W1

A white gel pen added some highlights and then I die-cut using the coordinating die-namics for Bubbly Birthday.





I backed the image with foam tape and arranged her at the entrance to the cave and I tucked a few sparkling clear sequins here and there for a final touch.
