STAMPIN' UP! HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS CARD IN BLUE & GREEN #2

Today's card features, again, the beautiful Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper.  I've incorporated silver into the colour scheme today, and added some stars ... a great design element that I think works particularly well for "guy" cards.

On my desk, I had a little scrap of Silver Foil that had been die cut with the Ornate Borders Dies, so I cut that down and added it to the right hand side of the sentiment panel.  The horizontal Whisper White strip of card has been embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder, and splattered with ink from Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy markers.  I snipped some of the curved, flourishy, parts from the open star die-cut, as I wanted a cleaner look.

In this photo you can more clearly see the ink splatters, that were created by flicking the brush tip of my Stampin' Write markers against the inside of their lids.  I didn't think I had achieved much colour (my eyesight's not what it used to be!), but it certainly shows up in the close-up!

The inside of the card was decorated with a few leftover die-cut Silver Foil stars:
