Becca's 30th Birthday Bash

Hello, everyone!  I'm back again today! This time I would like to share a card I made for Becca's 30th Birthday Bash!  I was inspired by Becca's mood board:


I was also inspired by two of Becca's prompts:
  • A bright bold explosion of colors
  • Artsy fartsy experimentation

Here's my card, something very different for me!  Yes, it's a cat, but my first colourful cat!


I started by creating a watercolour background using Zig markers:  Pink, Light Pink, Light Violet, English Lavender, Haze Blue, Light Blue, and Cobalt Blue. I recently won this gorgeous kitty from Karleigh Sue Digis called El Gato Dia De Los Muertos (thank you!). I thought it was perfect, not only for Becca's card but also for Kathy Racoosin's 30-day Colouring Challenge at The Daily Marker (I'm 19 for 19!).


We were at Walmart the other day and Brian bought me some new markers! They are Bic Mark-its! Yes, they are children's markers, but I love them!  They are alcohol markers with a very limited colour palette but so fun to colour with!  I really enjoyed colouring this kitty!

I decided to make this a shaker card, perfect for the challenge at Pink and Main:



Here are the other products used on my card:

  • Sentiment stamp: Clearly Besotted Furry Friends (heat embossed in white)
  • Die:  Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Frame
  • Accents:  Sequins, butterfly sequins, gems - all from my stash

Thank you for looking at my card - I hope you like it, Becca!  Wishing everyone a joyful day!
