Happy 7th Birthday

 

As you can see from the image, STAMPlorations is having a belated birthday celebration! I made this card to bring them birthday wishes.

STAMPlorations also has a Stencil challenge, so since I used a stencil I will enter that.

They also have an ongoing Anything Goes challenge, which you can enter when you use one of their products on your project. I'll be entering that, too!

I used the ARTplorations All Blooms stencil with some Gina K. Designs ink: Warm Cocoa, Dark Chocolate, Prickly Pear, Honey Mustard and Sweet Mango, to make the background. I added this to a brown layer before attaching it to a white card base.

For the sentiment, from Gina K. Designs Rose Peonies, I cut out the circle with a Cottage Cutz Stitched Circle die and added a bit of the color that was still on my blending brush. Then I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment with Dark Chocolate ink. I cleaned off the stamp and stamped again with VersaMark ink before heat embossing with clear embossing powder. I used a 2" circle punch for the brown layer.

I used some foam tape to attach the sentiment and then added some rhinestones for a bit of bling. It is a party, after all!

Since I used fall colours, I am entering this in the My Sweet Petunia Facebook challenge - Fall theme. I am also entering it in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.
