Happy Birthday Dad! Altenew Ink Blending Class

Happy Birthday Dad!

I made this card to practice some ink blending techniques I learned in Altenew's Easy Ink Blending class and to create a card for my dad's 75th birthday. I really like the new stencil from Altenew--a cool and then adding a wreath using another stencil (I can't remember where that stencil came from). It was a really fun card to make.

 Summer Treats! Today's card was created for a few different challenges: Make the Cards Challenge #21 (for the first card), Retro Rubber Challenge #161 and Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge (red, white and blue). Today's card features the Sweet Friends stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn as well as my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers   and Gina K's Master Layout 2 die set.  To create the card, I stamped the froyo 3 times, the s'more twice and the strawberries (they are stamped in groups of 3) twice on a piece of white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Ink in Twilight ,  heat embossed them with Holographic embossing powder from Ranger, and die cut them with their cooresponding die cuts.

The card started with a watercolor cardstock panel I cut with the largest rectangular die from Gina K's Master Layout 2 die set. I ink blended some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide with a few different stencils (Scrapbook.com's Mixed Stripes , and Tim Holtz's Dot Fade Stencil and Tinsel Stencil ) and used some Wow! Embossing Glitter Platinum Sparkle .
