Happy Birthday- Spice Market collection

Hello all,
I made a card last night using one of my new favorite stamps from the Hero Arts and Basic Grey collection Spice Market.  It is the Large Petal Background.  I think it is absolutely beautiful.  I also tried using pigment ink again; it's been a long time.

I first stamped the image in Color Box Frost White pigment ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder.   Then I colored in the image with three Tim Holtz Distress markers- weathered wood, dried marigold and worn lipstick.   I cut a strip of vellum and stamped Happy Birthday from Hero Arts Fancy Basics set in Versamark and heat set with Zing white embossing powder.  I attached the vellum in the back of the stamped panel and adhered it to a card base of the same Desert Storm card stock.

This was such a fun card to make.  The main stamped image is beautiful and is relaxing to color in.  I have a feeling I will be using this stamp on a regular basis.  Hope you enjoy!

I am also adding this card to the Hero Arts' Birthday Challenge - Anything Goes.  If you haven't already seen the beautiful Spice Market collection, I suggest you check it out.  Until next time…..

Here are the products I used.  Please let me know if you have any questions; I will try to promptly answer them.
