Inspiration: Tic Tac Toe #209 (decorate envelope + texture + blue)
I was really excited to finally have to new Stencil Butter colours on hand. Of all the textures pastes I've purchased so far, they have been my favorite ones, but I think the bright colours from the original palette had prevented me from using them as much as I was hoping I would. I feel like the softer, more muted colours that just got released will be easier to incorporate into my projects. I realized that the CAS colour challenge fit two of the new released colours, Watermelon and Seafoam. For the third, I pulled out Denim.
I started by cutting a piece of mixed media art paper from Vicki Boutin and I smooshed ink on an acetate to create my base on the white cardstock. I layered Flirty Flamingo, then Pool Party and dried the paper with my heat tool. I then used Stencil #6 from Autour de Mwa (Aall & Create) to add details with the Stencil Butters.
While the pastes were drying, I picked Mini Oddball Has a Present as my main image. I stamped it in Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Polychromos pencils in matching shades. I fussy cut the image out and popped it on dimensional adhesive.
For the sentiment, I used a new score: Des mots pour te dire #1 from Carabelle Studio. I hadn't realized this was a single stamp, but the words are really easy to cut apart, so I stamped the words in Night of Navy ink on Pool Party cardstock and fussy cut the "Happy Birthday" words. I also popped those on mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
I made a card base out of Pool Party cardstock and added a Night of Navy mat for better definition. I added Spring Abstract Say It in Crystals embellishments to finish the card off.
