My Colleague Kerstin in my office will have birthday after my Birthday...I have at 10th of April and she has 11th of April...also I have to prepare a birthday card for her :) Using this lovely Sketch from Stamplorations:
Here is my card:
How I made my card:
1. Stamped the main Image with brown ink.
2. Colored a bit with Copic marker.
3. Gave clear embossing pen on it and clear embossing powder and embossed it.
4. Sponged the Tea Dye Ink at the right area and at the top left area with Tumbled Glass and a bit Broken China, gave water and dry it.
5. Same I did with the paper, it was a white paper and sponged too with Tea Dye, Tumbled Glass and Broken China and gave water and dry it.
Hope she will love her birthday card :)
