I started out with a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb (just got some and love it for card bases!). I then took a panel of Whisper White and placed a stencil on top before sponging over it using several blue inks from SSS. I tried to keep the center lighter and the edges darkest. Once I was happy with my sponging, I cut the panel in two and adhered it to the card base.
The "Happy" was stamped using archival ink directly onto the stenciled panel and the birthday die is three layers stacked, which was then clear embossed a couple of times to create a raised and shiny finish.
All in all, quite a simple card suitable for a male.
Thanks so much for visiting.

Love it. Great sponging, and love your chosen colour. That birthday sentiment looks terrific stacked and embossed! How lovely that you had some creative 'fun' just for the sake of it. I need to do that more often myself. x
Super fun card, Karren!
Such a great card Karren!!! Love the color combination and such a fun way you created the sentiment. Brilliant!!!
I really love this effect Karren! Your sponged stencilling really draws your eye to this card and I love your glossy sentiment too!
