STAMPlorations Theme & Sketch Challenge #39 mid-month reminder

Hello and good morning crafty peeps!

I'm popping in today with my reminder post for the

STAMPlorations January Theme & Sketch Challenge!

 (Our definition of Mixed Media: using stamps and ink + at least two other elements

(techniques and/or products))

You can choose the theme, or the sketch, or both!

I went with both again:

 Here's the inside:

I started by die cutting the CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting die from water color paper. I painted yellow acrylic paint on it. While that was drying, I stamped, colored and fussy cut the Tropical Drink. When the panel was dry, I used the ARTplorations Gridlocked stencil and sponged orange and red inks over it. I spritzed some black ink onto the panel and once that dried, I stamped the sentiment from Fond Expressions 2. On the inside of my card, I cut another panel and stamped Happy Birthday from the Balloons and Banners stamp set.

I hope that you get to play along this month at the STAMPlorations January Theme & Sketch Challenge! You have until January 31st to link up. I hope to see your project in the gallery!
