Birthday Animals - Slimline Card

Hello,

I'm here with the first slimline card I made, also for DT inspiration for A Place to Create Challenges. The theme this month is to create your own background, and no patterned paper. I made this card for my friend's son, who turned 4 recently. He loves all animals and I felt this was the perfect design for him!


I started by stamping the animals from Little Birdie's Jumbo Wishes and Jungle Birthday stamp sets, onto watercolor cardstock, using Altenew Obsidian black ink. I then colored them using Arteza real brush pens with water. I also stamped and colored the rainbow with clouds from Mudra's Stay Magical stamp set.




Then I've die-cut the tiny balloons from The Cat's Pajamas Balloon Frame die set. I blended different distress inks onto the balloons, applied Wink of Stella clear glitter, and then coated with glossy accents.

While they were all set to dry, I prepared the background. I die-cut the slimline rectangle from white cardstock using Pink Fresh Studio's Slim Diagonal Stitched Rectangles set. I love their dies!! Using the Create A Scene - Clouds and Grass stencil from Craftyscrappers, I blended distress inks using Taylored Expressions blender brushes. I used Salty Ocean for the sky and Mowed Lawn for the grass.


Now that the background is ready, I went back to all the stamped and colored images and fussy cut them out. I added them to the scene, along with the balloons, and adhered using strong glue. The sentiment is from the Jungle Birthday stamp set, stamped in black ink and clear heat embossed. For the base, I've used a folding black cardstock a little bigger than the slimline rectangle.


On the inside, I've used 2 white die-cut rectangles for the mat, and a bear image from Craftyscrappers Birthday Goofers set. This set is one of my favorites! I colored the bear and the number 4, fussy cut and adhered to the top portion. The bottom is left blank for adding a personal message.


Look at the gorgeous shimmer on the balloons! I totally loved them, especially the red heart one! Reminds me of lollipops :)



I also made a custom envelope using a patterned paper, and stamped the Happy Birthday from the Craftyscrappers set and heat embossed.
