Last night while watching the Federer vs Isner tennis match, I played with my new 60 marker set of Zig Real Brush Markers. I used them to color this fun birthday card using one of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets, Party Animal. I think these woodland animals with their birthday accessories are uber cute!
The sketch is from Leslie's The Challenge #41, back after taking the summer off. Yay! Also, the latest Lawnscaping Challenge is to add texture to our card. I used some cork, dimensional tape and watercolor paper to add texture to this one.
My little deer trio is stamped with SU Craft black ink and heat embossed with SU clear embossing powder onto Tim Holtz watercolor paper. I colored them with my Zig Real Brush watercolor pens. I painted the deer first then went back with the yellow-green color and water colored the background. I was hoping it would be more yellow than green, but not so much. The birthday goodies in each of the deer's hands were cut out with the set dies and popped up with a fairly fat glue dot. The whole picture is framed with a Die-namics stitched rectangle frame cut from cork. (my main texture element).
The party continues on the inside:
The inside images were stamped onto X-Press It Blending card with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with Copics. I added some Wink of Stella glitter over the party balloon.
