Good Morning everyone
Today is a bright and fun birthday card using the aall&create sea life stamp set. Ive given him a very sparkle background with wink of stella pens
A5 navy cardblank. I cut a piece of white card to fit my card base and made a background with wink of stella pens & water in blue, purple & green. Once dried i stamped the whale stamp. I added some extra detail with a black fineliner pen. I then used a paintbrush and water & dabbing with a tissue to remove some of the ink from the circles, hexagons & swirl around the whale. I stamped some extra details with oxide inks. I then stencilled on some circles with oxide ink & small dots with gold paint and edged the whole panel with gold starlight paint.
I stamped the whale again onto white, watercoloured with distress inks, cut out the whale & added over the top of the main one with glue gel. Die cut sentiment to finish from white and navy cardstock.
A close up on the whale
Trying to show the gold paint - it really has an amazing shine and shimmer and lovely for little stencilled accents. Sadly the photos don't really pick up the sparkle of the background either.
Just showing it side on
Items Used:

Grunge stamps
circles, little dots stencils
Sentiment dies
Imagination Crafts Starlight paint 'rich gold'
