CARD DETAILS
I started working on my card by stamping and coloring a few images from the Wild Ones stamp set. I used Copic markers (as always, I went with my go-to colors) and did some rather quick and easy coloring. I also stamped and colored 3 balloons using the monkey image holding the balloon, I skipped the monkey for this card.
I also stamped and die-cut the word Hooray in my Platinum die cutting machine and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder over black ink.
To create a background for this card I blended Distress Picked Raspberry ink and added flicks of water. Next, I foam mounted my die cuts creating a scene.
Ever since I made a Joy Giraffe card last year I can’t resist putting something around giraffe’s neck, so I made sure to have this one wear “hooray”.
Finally, I stamped Party Animal and foam mounted that onto the card.
