SHOPPING OUR STASH #338 - Birthday

Good morning friends and welcome!

This week at

SHOPPING OUR STASH

we have an easy challenge for you:

BIRTHDAYS!

Here's the card I made:

The infamous One Layer Card.

My Kryptonite!

(But it wound up coming out the way I had hoped it would, so there's that.) ☺

I started by stamping then masking the fish. Then blended on a couple Distress Inks,

lightly midway up the card and slowly getting darker towards the bottom corner,

for an ombre effect.

I then covered it with a wave stencil and used a baby wipe to blot out the

ink. LOVE how that turned out!

Once that dried, I removed the masks and colored the fishes,

and stamped the sentiment.

I did leave this under a big stack of books overnight because the baby wipe 

really warped the card stock.

So there you have it, a punny birthday card!

Now it's your turn to create a birthday card (you know you always

need them) and be sure to link up at Shopping Our Stash so we

can admire your card! For more ideas, do check out the

fabulous creations my teammies made!

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a great day!
