Happy Summer Birthday & Cancer Bookmark/Tag

 Good morning!  I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Colorful Options - Mood Board or Rainbow

Addicted to Stamps - Make Your Mark

The Four Seasons July - Summer

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

We Love Stamping - Sun, Sea, Sand (or AG)

AAA Birthday - Summer Birthday

I created my background by using the ink smooshing technique on watercolor paper - I love the way the colors blended on this one. I printed out Floating Farrah from Sweet November Stamps, colored her with Copics and die cut her with a deckled edge circle die. I stamped the Happy Birthday from Polkadoodles with an orange Distress Oxide Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder, then die cut with a smaller deckled edge circle.

And one more for today - this one is for the following challenges:

Art Impressions - Spritz, Splatter, Paint

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Fun with Paint

Paper Funday - Fun with Stencils

Let's Craft & Create #221 - Use a Hand Punch and/or Die

Passion for Markers - Add Ribbon

I used 2 different sizes of tag die cuts and my Gelli Plate with acrylic paints to create my tag/bookmark - stencils are from the July release at A Colorful Life Designs - I used the Crabbies and the Sea Net stencils (the little crab added to the sea net was applied with Distress Ink in Candied Apple and embossed with clear embossing powder) along with an astrological wheel stamp, stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I added the die cut "Cancer" sentiment and tied some black twine on to finish it off.
