Here is the list of items used on this Happy Birthday card:
stamps: Stampcraft (sentiment)
paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Basic Grey Junebug dp
ink: Versafine black
accessories: digi image, Prismacolor markers, Spellbinder ribbon tag, Offray yellow satin ribbon, Crystal Effects, various colored ZIG round tip markers
For my second card, I created the upper portion of my background paper using the Martha Stewart San Serif Alphabet clear stamps to spellout "gumball". The lower portion designer paper is DCWV. After printing my gumball image, I used Prismacolor markers to color then cut the image out with my Fiskar's swivel craft knife. This way, I could give it a little more dimension by popping it up on the background panel created using the Nestabilities Labels 9 die. For added detail, I've used a Creative Memories fine tip red marker to do faux stitching around the edge and added red dew drops. Of course the Crystal Effects used on the gumball machine is the perfect finishing touch to "give it life"!!
