Cancer Birthday & friend

 Had one leftover birthday card from Cancer season to share - I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

AAA Birthday - Summer Birthday

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Summertime Blues

Crafty Gals Corner: ______________in July (Birthday!)

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Inkspirational - Word Prompt: Birthday



I used the ink smooshing technique on watercolor paper to create the background - this technique is so therapeutic. I love the way this one came out looking like water for my Cancer birthday card! I stamped the sentiment directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I printed out the Cancer image (Sweet November - an old retired digi) and colored with Copics and a white gel pen. I fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape. 

.................................................................

And I'd like to squeeze this one in for the:

Color Dare #661


I'll also enter it into the:

Papers are from Authentique - I used die cuts for the frame, leaves, and "friend". I stamped the cute Stamping Bella pixie (retired rubber) and colored with Copics, then fussy cut (she originally was fluttering over flowers, but I didn't want to use the flowers for this one) and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.
