Today is my daughter Hannah's 26th birthday. She is currently my assistant so I do not have a lot of in studio time where she is not right there helping me with my business. Today I had to get up awful early to surprise her before she came over. I had her running a few errands in town for me to keep her out of the studio so I could make her this fun Birthday card. (after I baked a cake of course)
My daughter is a little goofy over this Stamp Set called Bella & Friends. She is over all puppy crazy right now but this puppy in Bella & Friends is a little bit like her own dog Peanut. So I had to color Bella to mimic Peanut. Peanut is part Scottie, part Jack Russell Terrier and part Chihuahua. She is a little cutie pie. She is always doing something cute so I thought on this card maybe she would tie a balloon to her tail and bring her Human Mom a cupcake (and a bone of course!) for her birthday. I know that sounds silly but sometimes it's just fun to make up a story with your artwork isn't it?
The card is simple watercoloring with my aqua painter and ink pads. I made "Peanuts" collar charm, bone and the cupcake stand out with a little bit of our fine tip glue pen. It acts like our crystal effects but maybe doesn't stand up as high. Definitely gives it a nice shine though when dry.
I finished up the candle on the cupcake with some gold wink of stella pen. It really glimmers and shines.
If you want to recreate this card or just love the Bella & Friends set like Hannah does (it's growing on M.E. too!) click on the links below to go shopping 24/7
