Magenta Super Saturday - Happy Birthday

Welcome back to my blog and Magenta Super Saturday.  You can also see my card on the Magenta blog here. 

For today’s card I started with a piece of white cardstock and used a blending brush to lightly cover it Salty Ocean Distress Ink. 

Next, I stamped the Wild Miscanthus stamp Peeled Paint Distress ink.  I added more color to the stamp with TomBow markers and stamped again.  I cleaned the stamp and stamped one more time with VersaMark ink, then embossed with clear embossing powder.  I moved the stamp and repeated the process two more times.   I added shading around the top edge with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.  I stamped the branch stamp along the lower part of the grasses with Distress Inks and Tombow markers.  I adhered the cardstock to the front of an A2 card, then adhered a 1 ½” x 5 ½” strip of blue cardstock along the bottom.  I added a small strip of metallic silver paper along the top edge of the blue strip.  I stamped Happy birthday onto a piece of scrap cardstock that had been covered with Salty Ocean Distress Ink, then die cut it with a circle die.  I adhered it to a slightly larger silver circle, then adhered them to the front of the card

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
