Hello! In my last post, I introduced you all to the new Tropic Fever stamp set. Today, I wanted to share a totally different look for it by pairing it with our Happy Birthday Die.
I really love how a good background image can add such interest so easily. For the card featured here, I used a Kaleidoscope Uninked pad to create my own rainbow ink pad by filling it using our PURE COLOR reinkers. I chose Flamingo, Wild Mango, Appletini, Falling For Blue and Bloomsberry.
I inked up the background stamp included in Tropic Fever and stamped to quickly create the all-over rainbow pattern.
For the sentiments, I die cut the "Happy" and "To You" labels twice from white cardstock. On one set, I quickly colored the letters with Copic Markers to match my inks and then replaced the letters in the second one. There is a little trick for this that makes it super fast and easy and you don't have to fiddle with the letters. I show you how in the video above.
I adhered a couple of the "birthday" die cuts on top of each other to give it a little weight and adhered them all with foam tape. I wanted the sentiment to stand out from the background, so I cut a fishtail banner and vellum square to layer behind them. For the candles above the "happy" label, I stamped the image from the And Many More! stamp set and heat embossed in gold.
I think this is a great gender neutral birthday card that is great for all ages. How about you? If you want to see this background in action on a few different variations of this card, be sure to watch the video as I share quite a few different versions.
