Awesomely Artistic Birthday for FMS 220



The starting inspiration for this card was a the combining of a sketch and colour challenge. The colour challenge at Pals Paper Arts was already closed, but that meant I could sneak in an extra colour (it's only the tiniest bit of yellow in the flower centres).  The sketch challenge is FMS 220 at Freshly Made Sketches.  I used stamp sets I have had for a while now but haven't seen nearly enough ink. Making this card I was reminded of just how much I like coordinating stamp & framelit or stamp and punch sets as I fussy cut out the dragon fly!  The sentiment is from Cottage Greetings and I used the 'Hope your day is wonderful!' stamp inside the card.  I love the font used in the sentiments of this set.  I also used one of my favourite new goodies, the Wink of Stella clear glitter brush on the dragon fly to give the wings a hint of sparkle.  I think I have actually managed to capture a bit of the sparkle in this close up!  I coloured the leaves using a Mint Macaron marker, and the flowers using an aqua painter and some ink lifted from my Melon Mambo stamp pad on a clear block.  Thanks for stopping by!
