Birthday card with Distress pencils

Hello and welcome, 

While waiting for the new Distress pencil sets to arrive I used the one’s that I already got. 

I made this background with inspiration from the very talented @marlydesign, you can find her on Youtube.

I used the Botanical embossing folder and Watercolor cardstock. Inked the edges and raised areas with DI Scorched timber. 

The stamped image is inspired from Tim’s Youtube live when he demoed the Distress pencils 2. I have used set number 1, 2 and 3, since I don’t have the last three sets yet. After I stamped the “Distress pencil colored” image I stamped the “happy birthday image” stamp with CMS460 Tiny prints with Distress Oxide in Scorched timber, and then used my stamp platform and stamped onto the image. Then I used a thin pen and drew around all words. 

I inked the edges with Scorched timber DI, then adhered with 3D foam to a piece of sanded Ideaology Kraft stock. 

I stamped a small number stamp from CMS396 Field notes, with Black soot Archival ink in the lower right corner.

The card is mounted to a piece of the same Ideaology paper as mentioned above, then mounted it to a black card blank.

Theses are the colors I used from the pencils: Picked raspberry, Seedless preserves, Kitch flamingo, Villainous potion and Fired brick.

Thank you for visiting,
