AAA Birthday


There's a new challenge in blog land: AAA Birthday. A sister challenge to the AAA Cards Challenge. Also CAS. Looking forward to play along.

The first challenge is: Anything Birthday goes.

On oldie but goodie is the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: this week it's add something metallic and showcase Brutus Monroe...I would if Ihave any BM things.

For my card I used an Alcohol ink,background I made in the video below, I experimented with watercolor techniques on alcohol inks. And this one's my favorite outcome. So I thought I should put it to use finally ;-)

I then used the powder tool to remove any static and stamped the sentiment from Woodware (aged to perfection) with Versamark ink and sprinkled Wow rich gold embossing powder on it and heat set it.
Adhered the panel to a cardbase.

No embellishments as I thought the colours were masculine and they might not like glittery enamel dots....not that I care too much haha, but I don't think the card needed them.
