Happy 40th Birthday

Hello there, today I have a card to share that I made for a friend to celebrate her 40th Birthday. I had originally planned on making a card with a big 40 on it but I decided to go for the more subtle version and add the 40 on the sentiment.

 
I started off by stamping the Lucky Tulip stamp by The Ton on to a piece of white cardstock. It was stamped using MFT Grout Gray ink, which is a great ink for the no-line colouring look. I then coloured the image using Polychromos pencils. The panel was adhered to a black A2 card base with foam sheet.
 
 
I typed the sentiment out on my computer and printed it on to cardstock. This was then cut out and added to the card with foam tape. To finish off, I added a few PPP Sparkling Clear sequins.

A very simple card as you can see, but it did take me a while to colour that flower! I hope my friend likes it. Thank you so much for visiting me today. I hope you are having a great week.
