Happy Birthday Jen!!!
I have to admit, when the Special Delivery Stamp Set was released as a Christmas stamp set, I knew I had to use it to create a Birthday card. And what better person to create this special card for than Jen!
To get started with creating this card, I cut out a frame from white cardstock using the Frames & Flags Die Set. I then cut it into strips using the hill die from the Land Borders Die Set.
I cut it into 5 sections...one for each color I wanted to use. I went with a rainbow color palette! To apply the ink, I used a foam blending tool and applied the ink to just the edge of the piece to give it a faded out effect.
Once the background was complete, I stamped the sentiment and then adhered the adorable llama and some presents. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from Newton's Loves Cake. All of the color on the images was done with Chameleon Markers.
I just love that I was able to extend the use of the awesome and totally adorable stamp set to a year-round must-have for your stamping stash!
Now, let's keep this party going!!!
