Wild Birthday

I spied the Lawn Fawn Wild for You set in my stash and thought it would go so well with the tropical theme from the most recent release. 

I'm entering this in Seize the Birthday #219 Anything Goes, Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes, Simon Says Monday Birthday Celebration.

I sponged the card base with Distress Oxides (listed below) using the Lawn Fawn Tropical Leaves Background Stencils. I then adhered a piece of acetate beneath the Lawn Fawn Four Square Landscape Backdrop in preparation for the shaker element. I used 1/8" Scor-Tape to secure both the acetate and the card front to the base after sprinkling a few sequins.

I stamped the Lawn Fawn Wild for You and Lawn Fawn Toucan Do It images using Memento Tuxedo Black, my go-to when coloring with Copics.

I had used the Lawn Fawn Tropical Leaves Backdrop die previously and kept the extras for just such an occasion as this fun shaker card. I sponged the vines and leaves with Distress Oxides and added them to the card, creating lots of visual movement and added depth.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Lawn Fawn Wild for You words with Versamark on black cardstock and embossed them with Ranger Super Fine Detail White Embossing Powder. I remembered to use my Inkadinkado Embossing Magic Pad so kept the static to a minimum!

I sponged the Lawn Fawn Oliver's Stitched ABCs with Distress Oxides and mounted onto black cardstock to create a shadow effect and help make the letters stand out.

This card was definitely a labor of love and will be going to a crafty friend who will appreciate the card in all of its tropical glory.
