AAA Cards Challenge #141: it's our 5th birthday bash, with video

This fortnight we celebrate our 5th birthday and our theme for our cards is, ofcourse, birthday.
We have many sponsors and a little treasure hunt for you, so  make sure you visit ever DT blog to collect all your badges.

For my Card I used the  Art Impressions set. loads of fun and the sentiment as well. On the inside of the card I stamped Happy Birthday, incase that wasn't clear from "I see no reason to act your age" .

I colored my image with Polychromos. And I really need a better tool than those paper stumps. I've tried a  brush but that didn't work for me either. I just can't be precise enough with those stumps.


The sentiment on the inside is from Woodware (aged to perfection) and a couple would have been great with this image too, but it would eat into my white space, and we don't want to do that!.


I stamped the image with My Favorite Things Extreme black ink onto Ecoline watercolor printer paper.

  1. I've been smiling at your image since I first saw it, a much better use of an ironing board I'm thinking!

  22. 😂 What a fun and fabulous birthday card. Your pencil colouring is beautiful.
    As for your stumps issue... I saw a video by Simon Hurley (Inklipse) who filled a Tim Holtz alcohol blending pen with gamsol and created a gamsol marker. Worth a try. x

    1. hi, thanks, that is not a new idea. I have tried it before, maybe with the new tip it works better. the Dove blender pen doesn't allow layering much after you use it.. I have now found a make up brush that seems to work

  38. I love this Hot Mama surfin USA. It sure beats ironing. A cute card.

    I purchased the Polys not too long ago and the stumps aren't for me either. If you find a solution, please pass it on.

  39. Such a fun card, Maaike. Just like Trina, I saw Simon Hurley using the new alcohol blending pen, which apparently has a much finer nib than the older version. I also got an extremely thin paper stump from paperpads.nl, but haven't tried it yet.
