GDT Ett Trykk: A colorful Happy Birthday

Hello crafty friends, 

Hope you are enjoying summer wherever you are. 

I love the lazy days of summer! I always bring my copics on holiday, this year I joined the Daily Marker 30 Day coloring challenge, so hopefully I will get a lot of coloring done to make cards with later this year. You can follow my coloring journey on Instagram @cardville! 

Since I am coloring all night and not getting any cards done these days, I thought I would show you a card I made for Ett Trykk Magazine earlier this spring. 

They asked us to make our own background... I love my patterned papers, so it was a tough challenge for me. I bought lots of gelatos years ago ("had to have them!") but i haven't used them at all, so I thought I would try them for this. Here's how it turned out:) 

Die by Kort og Godt. Butterfly stamps by Tim Holtz, I used clear embossing powder and a heat gun. Then I added the gelatos to a 6 x 6" acrylic block, sprayed with water and stamped on aquarell paper

. 

(I think I will stick to design papers in the future, but it was fun to step out of my comfort zone, now I am running back, lol)
