Sweet Birthday cards in coral for Day 3

Hi again! We’ve reached Day 3 of the MFT February Release and today I’m sharing two sweet Birthday cards in lovely shades of coral.

I created the first one with one of the girls from the cute PI Birthday Besties stamp set. I partially stamped her and the sentiment on a panel of Copic Friendly paper, leaving out the balloon. Next, I masked her with masking paper and inked the panel with Coral Crush and Peach Bellini Premium Dye Inks. I added some stars using a stencil from the Card Sized Star Confetti Stencil Set.

I drew some lines with a fine black marker and die cut four letters out of Smooth White Card Stock using the Pumped Up Alphabet Die-namics. I then colored them with R22, R20 and R02 Copic markers.

For the girl I used the following colors:

R20, YR000, E04, E11 and E21 (for the skin)
R35, R33 and R31 (for the hair)
B95, B93, B91 and Y14 (for the dress and shoes)
C1 and C00 (for the dress and socks)

As a last touch, I added some round and star shaped sequins…

The second card features three large balloons die cut with the Perfect Fit Balloon Die-namics out of Coral Crush and Peach Bellini card stock. For the third one, I inked a piece of Translucent Vellum with Tickled Pink Premium Dye Ink.

For the sentiment, I stamped the large “You” from the All ABout You stamp set in Coral Crush Premium Dye Ink on the same colored balloon. I completed it with a strip of Heavyweight Translucent Vellum on which I heat embossed the phrase “Happy Birthday to”.

The balloons looked strange without strings, so I added gold-colored thread to all three. As in the previous card, I embellished with matching sequins. I’m curious to know… Which card did you like more? By the way, HERE’s another Birthday card in coral, that you might like.

As always, I invite you to head on to the MFT Blog to be linked to the gorgeous projects of my team mates. Thank you for your visit and possible comment. ^_^
