Happy Birthday to SSS Monday Challenge card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Happy Birthday".

We can hardly believe that we are now celebrating the Monday Challenge’s 10th year! We wouldn’t be here without your support and we really appreciate that you have been joining in with the challenges over all these years! THANK YOU!

And as it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company. This week we are all using some fabulous products from Stampers Anonymous. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

Can't believe the Monday challenge blog has been around for 10 years, what a milestone! I started using the whole Simon Says Stamp stamp set Birthday Balloons as a collage in the background. I used Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink for this along with the MISTI. After that I started playing with Distress Paints Weathered Wood, Broken China and Black Soot to apply color.

 

After the paint was dry I used the Digits stencil from Stampers Anonymous with Texture Paste. To bring the digits to the background, I used Infusions In The Navy, which worked like a charm. I gave the Paper Doll a Weathered Wood Embossing Glaze dress and stamped the balloon of the Birthday Balloons stamp set with Distress Ink Weathered Wood and Distress Oxide Broken China. On top of that I used Versa Mark Ink and applied Distress Embossing Glaze Broken China and Weathered Wood to create a 3D effect.
