Hi everyone, Eloise here today and for today's card I'll be using the Team Player stamp set to create a masculine Birthday card. I love this set for this purpose, because it's so great for any guy in your life and it's super hard to come across a perfect masculine themed stamp set and this one, if your guy or son loves sports - it's perfect.
To begin my card today, I first started off with a piece of watercolour paper and created a watercolour background using some Distress Inks. I first smooshed down some Squeezed Lemonade onto some acetate, spritzed it with water and smooshed it down onto my background. I then dried it slightly and moved onto Mustard Seed, repeated the same process and finished with Wild Honey. I just repeated these steps until I was happy with the results. I then dried it background completely and moved onto my images. I stamped down the stars, trophy and basketball and coloured them up with Copic Markers. I cut them out using the coordinating dies and set them off to the side. For my sentiment, I cut a banner from some green cardstock and a banner from some black cardstock in two different sizes. I then stamped 'Slam Dunk' onto the green banner and white heat embossed the 'Hope Your Birthday Is' sentiment onto the black. I then used some red Copic markers to colour in the letters on the 'Slam Dunk' piece.
Once all my elements were ready, I first adhered my green banner down with some foam tape, then adhered the basketball and trophy on top of the banner. Next, I added my stars down onto the background of my card, scattered like I would sequins and then also adhered my black banner on top of the green as well. I adhered the entire panel to a card base and my card was complete.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and I'll catch you next time.
