Birthday card for Eva

Hello and welcome,
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I'm back again with a new design team project for Ally's Angels. The theme is once again Anything Goes and I have made a Birthday card for a friend.

I started by applying Distress Grit Paste through Tim Holtz stencils Measured, Industrial and Decayed on a watercolor cardstock panel measuring 14,5x21 cm and when dry I sprayed with Distress Oxide Sprays Vintage Photo, Pumice Stone and Walnut Stain and finished with some Black Soot Distress Crayon blending out the colour with my fingertip.

The window is die cut in chipboard and colored with Walnut Stain and Black Soot Oxide Inks and to get some texture I used Distress Grit Paste blended with Distress Paint Weathered Wood and finished with Black Sooth Distress Crayon. I die cut the piece behind the window frame in Silver Metallic Kraft and sanded the edges. 

The Cityscape Skyline are die cut in Silver Metallic Kraft, sanded, and to create the ledge I used Pinked Trims from the Etcetera Collection. I applied a layer of white Crackle Paint from DecoArt and when dry I used my fingertip and Vintage Photo Distress Crayon together with a little bit of water to color the cracks.

The Faceted Heart is a favorite of mine and this time die cut in Silver Metallic Kraft and sanded. I glued Hardware Heads colored with Walnut Stain Distress Paint on three sides of the heart and to finish I just wrapped some metal wire from stash around it.

I die cut the number 50 in chipboard using the Handmade alphabet die and used Broken China Distress Paint to color them and when dry I used a touch of Walnut Stain Distress Crayon around the edges.

I then made the other panels to put behind my background. One panel is made of Brown Coredination Cardstock with blue core, sanded, and the other panel is corrugated cardstock colored with Walnut Stain and Black Sooth Distress Oxide Ink and Black Sooth Distress Crayon. The base is made with watercolor cardstock, folded and colored with Broken China Distress Ink on the front and the inside- and backside with my fave combo of Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Pumic Stone Distress Oxide Sprays.

I glued all my die cuts and decorations in place. All metal decorations are Idea-ology from Tim Holtz and I have used Broken China Distress Paint and Black Sooth Distress Crayon to color them. The Paper Doll and Wings are also Tim Holtz Idea-ology.

Wish you all a happy, healthy and creative year 2020
Hugs, Lisa
