As I have mentioned previously, the season of birthdays is upon me! I can’t seem to keep enough of a stash so I find myself making in Birthday card mode a good bit at this time of year. I don’t have any of these specific colors in my stash so I went with what I thought was best, Tahitian Tide, Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral. I felt the need for some blending so I started on a quarter piece of Basic White cardstock, a blending brush, and off to inking bliss. I came back with a polka dot stencil in my stash going back over the colors with the same color to add a bit more interest. What I found interesting, in the end, is that the Tahitian Tide, when I was stenciling the dots – went on and appeared to be a darker 2 tone Tahitian Tide, as it dried it definitely went a bit green. Don’t understand how that came to pass as it dried, when it didn’t go on that way. Art is a process, sometimes the process takes it in a different direction. Still trying to decide if I like this direction! So now I have my angled element for the card front. On Basic White card stock I stamped the sentiment In Memento Black from the Charming Sentiments stamp set. I used the Sentiment Silhouettes die cuts. The Sentiment Silhouettes die set also has some candle bits and pieces so I die cut a couple of those to decorate the inside of the card. I also used a piece of the triangular cuts from the piece on the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
