Giant Happy Birthday

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing a simple and quick-to-make Birthday card.  I dropped reinkers onto my work mat, spritzed with water and smooshed a piece of mixed media paper.  I LOVE this colour combo ... but forgot to write it down - oops!  I believe the colours are:  Distress Re-inkers in Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet and Salty Ocean. :)  Once the panel was dry I attached it to my white card base.

I die-cut Giant Happy Birthday die (Lawn Fawn) three times from white card stock.  Glued them together to create a thick die-cut and adhered it to the front of my card.  That's it! :)  

Close-up ...
I'm sending this card to Seize the Birthday #261 - wheels.  No topping for me this time. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Love that background for the large Happy Birthday lettters. Easy, maybe but so perfectly done. Lining up letters is not always so simple but yours is! Love the rich contrast on this one too.

Amazing color combination. I love how they blended together to create a colorful mix. The white lettering gives a nice contrast. It will be fun to try to get a similar effect, I hope that the recipe turns out to be right
