The bear, party hat and balloon were stamped and coloured with the Copic colours listed above, the images were die cut, backed with dimensional foam tape and applied to the scene.

My Favorite Things - Wednesday Sketch Challenge 547

It's Wednesday and so there's a new Sketch Challenge over at My Favorite Things.   This is Challenge #547 which I hope you'll join in with for a chance to win a $50 gift voucher.   Here is my inspiration card followed by the actual sketch you'll be work with.

To create this card I first stamped a background panel using the Happy Birthday Background Stamp.  I sized this panel to be smaller than A2, backed it with a panel of white craft foam and then layered it over an A2 panel which in turn was applied to my card base.

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped my images from the newly release from the vault Birthday Bears  stamp set illustrated by Birdie Brown.  I used a light grey ink so that I could colour with my Copics in a no-line style.

Bear E43, E42, E41 and E40

Pinks R20, R30, R00 and R000

Greens G00, G000 and G0000

Yellows Y02, Y00 and Y0000

Shading W1 and W00

I used the Birthday Bears coordinating die-namics to die cut these images which I backed with foam tape and applied to the panel.

To follow the sketch I created 3 equal sized sentiment strips and I used the colour combinations above to make an ombré affect.   I then stamped the sentiments from Essential Sentiments using a second generation stamp and Gravel Gray Premium Dye Ink.   I wanted the stamping to be soft and distressed looking in keeping with the feel of the card.  These were backed with foam tape, aligned and applied.

Above is a zoomed in image of my finishing touches which included Stickles glitter on the party hat, gifts and candle flames and whilst it doesn't show here I also used Nuvo Crystal Glaze to make the icing on the cake lovely, glossy and dimensional.

Best of luck with your entries, I look forward to seeing what you create.  Happy crafty time!
