Birthday Blend


It's time for another fun challenge from the team at Fusion and we've got a bright and cheery one to play along with!



I originally decided to focus on the photo and go with a rainbow alcohol-inked panel, which I did, but then I figured I could also incorporate the sketch so went with a fusion.



This panel was one I had in my folder of alcohol-ink experiments.  I'm pretty sure I only used a red, green and blue to create this sort-of-rainbow pattern.  I also used some gold foil.  The panel wasn't wide enough to cover a card front, so I cut it behind the sentiment panel to make it fit.  I went with a bold but reasonably simple sentiment stamp and then added a die-cut circle from the inked offcuts and a gold foil star.  Pretty simple, right?



Thanks so much for visiting!  I hope you take the time to check out the cards made by the rest of the design team - they're fabulous!

I'm linking up to Seize the Birthday - this isn't a Spring card but it'll work for the Linky Party.

    I'm just mesmerized by your alcoholic panel, Karren! Especially around the yellow where it looks like bits are peeling off ~ fascinating!! And thank you for the slap to my forehead reminder that there are clever ways to make a smaller panel work to fit the card front! Hugs, Darnell
