It's Your Birthday!

Hello and Welcome

I have to say, I love how this card came out using the new for June stencil called:

Open Coils

from A Colorful Life Designs.

I decided to make it a masculine looking card so here's what I did.

• I placed the Open Coils stencil on an angle over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
• I wiped the stencil clean and then repositioned it slightly down and to the right.  I inked again all over using some Salty Ocean DOX ink. It created a new colour that I loved by blending those inks together.
• I lifted the stencil off the panel and set it aside while I stamped the Happy Birthday greeting and die cut it out. I also die cut a white circle to help make the sentiment more visible over the background.
• I glued my card front base onto a piece of green cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I glued the white circle over the middle of the front and used some foam tape to pop the sentiment up. 
• Finally, I added some blue bling around the sentiment.  

Here is the stencil I used:
