Hey there! Well this is a first for me. I was asked to be a guest designer on the Addicted to CAS Challenge blog. I was pretty excited and a little nervous especially when I saw the cue card. But it is a challenge, right?
This is where the nervous part came in. I am not really a music girl so the first thing that popped in to my mind was songs that get sung. Then I took a hard look at my stamps and the Birthday Song was about all I had to work with.
I started with a 110 lbs white card base and with my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform I stamped the greeting from Avery Elle's Handwritten Notes set in 4 ink colors. Kiwi Kiss, Tempting Turquoise, Yoyo Yellow from Stampin Up and Altenew Crimson inks. I created punctuation from other stamps in the set by using selective inking. The candle is from a Papertrey Ink set, Wishes Come True. For the flame on the candle I did the rock and roll techniques using the yellow and crimson inks. The wick was created with a Zig Millennium 005 marker. The last step was to cover the flame and candle with 3 coats of clear Wink of Stella.
My goal was a one layer card that might have you singing the "birthday song" as you read the words. Thank you for stopping by and thanks Addicted to CAS for the chance to guest design, Sue.
