Happy Birthday

I've been dying to use this branch I got from SSS and I finally got the chance! I used a free digital stamp from Avery Elle. I love these lanterns! Too cute!

First I scored a piece of cardstock from PTI. I then took a piece of SSS water color paper and with distress inks, watercolored the back. I dried it with my heat tool.  I then stamped Happy Birthday from SSS in Versamark, covered it in white embossing powder and finally heat embossed it. For the lanterns, I colored them with Copics and covered them with Glossy Accents. I drew black lines with my Copic mutli-liner for the strings. I adhered them with pop up dots. I then added dash lines around the outside with my uniball pen. Loved the final result! :) 

This will be entered into Avery Elle's April Challenge. It's also being entered in the CAS challenge! Thanks for stopping by!
