More Fun with “Happy Birthday”

Published by Michele Boyer at 7:00 am under My Designs, Whipper Snapper

WOOHOO! It’s Friday!  :)  So I mentioned before that I was finally working on my very own stamp room…  I’ve had some new furniture in “my room” but I haven’t been able to use any of it because I’m missing a piece and everything ties into this missing corner piece.   But it’s coming tomorrow!! I’m SO excited!!  I’ll finally be able to start loading up those shelves with my stamp stuff.  The bad news is that my project table is on backorder (said with distaste) until JUNE!  ACK!  Looks like I’ll be dragging in a folding table to use in the meantime.  But I’m just so excited to finally be getting my very own room!  No more feeling guilty (or, I suppose “embarassed”  is more appropriate) about the HUGE mess I make everyday in my dining room.  YAY!  So, in the meantime, I’m “wishing big” that my table comes early!

Wish Big

WBAWS2This is my second favorite card I’ve made using Anna’s new Happy Birthday set from Whipper Snapper Designs.

I masked off the poof on top of the hat then stamped the hat upside down.  After masking the top of the hat (which is now actually the top of an ice cream cone), I stamped the balloons (which are actually scoops of ice cream), masking them also as I went along.

I colored the images with Copic markers then added paper glaze to the ice cream scoops.  (And yes, Aleene’s Paper Glaze is the same as Crystal Effects…you can see it here.)

That’s about it! :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous Friday!

    LOVE the bold, sassy colors of this card and of course, you used the stamps in a fun and unique way!! I’m so excited for you getting your own stamp room! I’m always spread out in the dining room. We have been eating at the kitchen counter for about 2 years now. It’s a good thing I don’t have company for dinner very often!
