Congratulations on your 4th Birthday and fun Birthday Wishlist Linky Party!
Here is my Wishlist!
I had fun making my card using a favorite CUTplorations Die, "Coffee Cup Silhouette". I die cut my image from a Stenciled Alcohol Ink background from my stash. Sentiment is from SU.
I hand drew flowers on my cup using my Staedler art pen to make the cup look summery along with summer time alcohol ink colors. Enjoy your cup a tea this summer...hot or cold :-)
I am looking forward to many more years of inspiration and fabulous friendly customer service from Shery and her very talented DT members. Congratulations again my friends. Hugs..
Supplies:
Stamps: SU Balloon Celebration
Paper: SU Thick Whisper White, Yupo Paper
Inks: Archival Black ink. Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks: Sunshine Yellow, Sunset Orange, Watermelon, Wild Plum.
Accessories: CUTplorations ATC Tag Builder and Coffee Cup Silhouette Dies. Prima Stencils Composition Book #584641. Fun Foam. Staedler art pen.
