40th Birthday

Good Morning everyone

This is the 2nd card i made for my brothers 40th birthday for me to give him.  Ive gone for a funny one using my new Katzelkraft bird stamps which i got for my birthday last month.

I first made a background with brushos and pixie powders and let dry.  Using my hexagon dies i made a white cardbase.  I then cut a frame from white card.  I then cut my background with a hexagon die and then used a tim holtz die to cut out little circles from the middle of my coloured panel, i added gold holographic card behind this - it kind of gives the effect of a disco ball when the light hits it for my dancing birds.  I added that to the base and then the frame on top with foam tape.

I stamped the birds and simply coloured in grey tones so they stand out with the bright background, just a hint of colour for the beak & feet, i then cut them out.  I computer printed the 40 & no way and die cut into speech bubbles & stamped the happy birthday and die cut into an oval.  I added the birds and sentiment to the base card with glue gel to finish.

A close up trying to show the light hitting the holographic, in life its really shiny and bright
