Avery Elle … Wild Birthday

Hello there on this dreary day!  Where on earth is our Summer – not funny anymore 🙁  To brighten things up I’m sharing a fun birthday card made with the fabulous Wild Birthday set from Avery Elle.  I combined the animals with some fun patterned papers to create a card perfect for a boy or girl!

Isn’t that collage just so inspiring?!  I can totally see why Jenn picked these photos – just so dreamy!  For me the thing that jumped out most was the driftwood images.  I pulled out my MFT Wood Plank background stamp and stamped it in Surf Blue (how appropriate) and then over the top with with Memento Desert Sand.  I love the aged effect you get with this double stamping technique.  I used the same two colours to stipple the “sunshine” die cut before inlaying back into the frame die cut.  Ahh, summer – how I long for you to come (yes, I know it’s July but in England that means nothing, lol!!)

As a current member of Slimming World this stamp set sure makes me chuckle!  I know lots of my friends in the group would see the funny side too – always trying to put a positive spin on things!  The stamp is quite a large one so creates the perfect focal image without the need for too much more.  I stamped onto water colour card and coloured the image with Zig Clean Colour markers.  A layer of vellum and some patterned paper add just a bit of interest to the background.
