Bright and Happy Birthday

Welcome

For today's card, I went with a bit of a 'rainbow' theme with the colours I added over this new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Mid Century Jacks and Balls

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and put the Mid Century Jacks and Balls stencil over that.  
• Starting at the top corner and moving my way down, these are the colours I used to blend together:  Fossilized Amber, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry and some Peacock Feathers.
• After I had inked the whole panel, I decided to add a Stitched border to give more interest to my card.
• I die cut the sentiment with some white cardstock 4 times and glued 3 of them together.  I inked the 4th one with the same colours I had used on the background mentioned above and glued that onto the top of the stack.
• I glued the card front onto a piece of navy cardstock, then added the sentiment across the front.

Here is the stencil I used:
