fantasy stampers - guest designer

This is a card that i made as a guest appearance designer on the site http://fantasystampers.blogspot.co.uk/
the subject of the challenge is Happy Birthday.

First i cut a circle out of a piece of card to use as a stencil and taped it down onto a piece of white card (cut to the size required to fit my card blank) to stop it moving.  i then cut some cloud shape pieces of paper and taped them down.
i then used a piece of foam to ink around the clouds each time i put ink on the foam i dabbed it onto scrap paper so that it would be paler in colour, and backed it with a blue colour contrasting card and stuck onto the card blank.
The bird was stamped and coloured with Spectrum noir pens and stuck onto the card using 3d double
sided foam pads.  the bird stamp is from Clarity Stamps.
The flowers were stamped several times onto white card in a blue ink pad, the leaves in a green shade
the stamps are from Dreamees.  The centre is diamante gems.
I used alphabet stamps to stamp the greeting onto a piece of card and backed it with the same colour card as the background.
