Birthday Card with ink and pencils

Hi stampers! I hope you had a good weekend! We went to a fun Lego exhibit and an autumn market. Today we are continuing our STAMPtember® celebrations at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.

In honour of STAMPtember® we have a Stamping theme this week. There is nothing better than stamping. Don't miss the fun project by our September guest designer Kerry B.

I made a birthday card this week using new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® exclusive stamps. The image was stamped with the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Party set and colored with colored pencils. I didn't add as much texture and details as I normally do.

Start by stamping the image from Simon Says Stamp Birthday Party on heavystock cardstock.

Color with pencils. I used Prismacolors. Color the light areas too, using a light color or white pencils. This is to protect them from the inking.

I stamped the boy one more on Simon Says Stamp Masking Paper and masked him, but this step is not really necessary. I just wanted to make sure that I hadn't missed coloring any skin areas, since those areas would then become blue. The colored areas resist the ink. Ink with Distress Ink.

Remove the mask and ink around the edges. I like the way Scorched Timber blends with other colors, creating a dark grey/brown.

Add grass and a shadow with the colored pencils. Then add details and highlights and grass with a black pen and a white gel pen.

I stamped sentiments from Simon Says Stamp Birthday Party on the background. I also added Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Surf Gems. I love these gems. They are so sparkly.

I used bright colors since that fit with the birthday theme.
