Celebrate BIG Birthday Card

Hello Art Impressions fans, thanks for joining Ai blog today. I am Nina and am so excited this card I made mixing and matching some of Art Impressions sets from our new release.

I used the new Happy Spring Flip Card Set and the Birthday Journal Set from our 2023 Art Impressions' release.

I just happened to have these two sets next to each other on my desk and was fascinated by how well they would go together as the cake pieces size fits perfectly to be carried by the two of the four bunnies :)

So I immediately started by stamping the images from both the sets on Bristol Smooth White paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti and colored them with my Copic Markers.

I cut the images and backed them with foam tape, I used thinner foam tape behind the bunnies and thicker behind the cakes to give the dimension that the bunnies are actually carrying them.

For the background I cut the panel using Ai Double stitched rectangle dies. I pressed fossilized Amber Distress Ink on my glass mat and sprayed the glass mat with water to dilute the ink and pressed the background panel against the glass mat multiple times until I was pleased with how it looked.

I backed the background panel with foam tape as well and attached Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillside for my bunnies to stand on and then I attached the bunnies and then the cakes.

I die cut the word BIG from letter die set from my stash and added the alphabet stickers to write "Celebrate" and decorated with enamel dots from the same Copic palette.
