This will make a great Masculine birthday card I think and I have a few of those coming up over the summer. I have enjoyed playing along with the Alphabet Challenge as it is giving me a chance to pull out stamps and supplies I have not used in a while!
The boat, dragonfly and cattails image was all one stamped image on white cardstock. I stamped in black and re-stamped again with Versamark so I could heat emboss. I wanted it to stand out a little more than if I had just stamped it down flat. I colored the image with my Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. I printed the sun out with my computer and used Copic markers for the water. I also added a touch of white pen to resemblance a few small waves. Next I glued down the image. I randomly stamped cattails along the bottom, Happy Birthday at the top and another small dragonfly with black ink. I was so glad I recently picked up a new set of Happy Birthday Stamps as the hollow one from the set worked perfect. I wanted to be able to see the sun in part of it.
Of course, it's a birthday card and birthday cards needs some sort of glitter/sparkle so the wings have a small amount of glitter on them.
It took two tries to get the sun printed the right size but overall I am very happy with how it came out.
Now done with letter D and I can't wait for letter E.
