Happy Birthday Guitar!

Today I’ve got this fun birthday card to share with you.  I made this a little while ago but it didn’t make it to the blog so here it is now.

First I stamped the image from My Favorite Things from the Pure Innocence “Heart Strings” stamp Set in memento tuxedo black ink. (This stamp set is retired, sorry) Then I colored it with my Spectrum noir markers. I used TN2, BP2, PL4, TN8, BT7 and true black to finish off the edges after I fussy cut out the image.  

For the sentiment I used Simon Says Stamp it’s no secret stamp set. I embossed it with Simon Says Stamp clear embossing powder and heat set it with the Marvey heat tool.  I also outlined the sentiment border using PL4 from my Spectrum noir markers.

For the embossed background I used the Cuttlebug by Provo craft embossing folder called spots and dots.  I used my Sizzix big shot machine for this. (This embossing folder is no longer aviable I linked to Kraisercraft distressed dots, which is similar)

Then I distressed the edges of the embossed background with memento tuxedo black ink. 

To adhere everything together I used the scotch advanced tape glider.  Lastly to finish it off I added purple sequins from the craft medley cup sequins.  To adhere these I tried something new I used the Xyron sticker maker to put the sequins on.  For this particular card I didn’t have time to wait for the glue to dry when adding sequins so this was a great solution.  

Thank you for coming by today! Hope you have a great day!
