Happy Birthday Minion


Grá O'Neill- Paper Learning Curve: Lawn Fawn Violet's ABCs, Cole's ABCs, Quinn's 123s, Speech Bubble Border, Simon Says Stamp Happy die, Polka Dot Party stencil

I decided to recycle some wrapping paper for this card, as my lot are obsessed with the Minions and so are their friends. The pearlescent embossing paste was coloured with Memento Luxe Dandelion Yellow ink and spread on kraft cardstock through the Polka-Dot stencil from Simon Says Stamp. The card base is a little larger than the stencil, so I waited for the first lot of dots to dry, repositioned the stencil using some of the dry dots as a guide and embossed the rest of the cardstock.

I used a craft knife to have Phil crashing through the screen like they do in the film. As he is just wrapping paper I've coated him in matte multi-medium, added some white gel pen, wink of stella and googly eyes.

I've used black sparkly embossing powder on the happy diecut & birthday sentiment and Dandelion Yellow Luxe ink for the rest of it. The Lawn Fawn Quinn's No. 6 was coloured with the yellow ink then covered in stickles instead of stamping with it's coresponding stamp. 

Please excuse the poorly lit photos, today was a completely mixed bag. On the bright side there were lots of rainbows!

It's celebrations all round with Craft for the Craic's first birthday and Lawnscaping's 100th Challenge. Looking forward to many more challenges.
I also want to enter this into the first Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp Flickr Co-Challenge.
