Have A Fin-Tastic Birthday

Hello there, Michelle here and today I have card to share combining the Manatee Stamp & Cut with the Monster Birthday Stamp & Cut (available to purchase from the Hero Store on the 17th May), to create a masculine birthday card. That manatee is fabulous and I thought he would look great with a party hat on and holding some balloons!

I started off by cutting a piece of white cardstock with the second largest of the Nesting Postage Stamps Infinity Dies. I took the party hat from the Monster Birthday Stamp & Cut and stamped this on to the panel using Intense Black Ink. The hat was masked off and the manatee from the Manatee Stamp & Cut was then stamped so that it looks like he is wearing the hat. I stamped the balloons from the Monster Birthday set and then hand drew the strings with a black pen. The sentiment is from the Manatee Stamp & Cut.

The images were coloured using Copic Markers and I created a little sea background for the manatee, also with Copic Markers. The image panel was added to a grey A2 card base and then to finish off, I added Glossy Accents to the balloons.

Thanks so much for popping by today. Happy stamping!
