Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

I wanted to make something special because Simon is turning 13!! Happy birthday to such a wonderful company. This card is all about color. I got so much inspiration from the amazing Shari Carroll.

I used a heavy weight card stock to cut an A2 size top folding card base. I then cut two more panels from water color paper the same size. I cut them about quarter inch smaller than the card base.

The first panel I used distress oxides to ink blend a sunset in cool colors. Distress oxides are water reactive so I splattered the panel with a bit of water drops and then took and paper towel to dry leaving some nice texture to the panel. I adhered this panel to the card base.

The sencond panel I ink blended using distress ink in shades of a sunrise. I splattered water, ink, and some white paint to give lots of texture. When it was dry I die cut the sunburst from it and added it to the card base over the first panel using foam adhesive.

I then die cut the Happy Birthday sentiment from more heavy weight card stock three times and ahered them together for thickness. Then I added the pre-printed sub-sentiment underneath.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and if you are interested in any of the products I used to make this card they are listed and linked below for your convenience. All supplies can be found at the Simon Says Stamp store.
