Blue Birthday Background

 I decided to go with a blue background for this card made with the February 2025 Clarity New Design Club stencil as it was the colour for the monthly ATC swap.  I kept things simple and elegant for this mini make.

Add stencil #129 to a piece of Clarity stencil card and brush Tumbled Glass Distress ink through the apertures.

With the stencil still in place, add various stamps from the Textures (both Bubbles and Lines) sets in French Ultramarine Archival ink, holding the stamps in the hand and partial stamping.

Add further stamping in Periwinkle Archival ink, using the script stamp from the Mixed Media Journaling set.  Remove the stencil.

Add a dropped shadow using a Polychromo pencil (#140), then trim to 11cm x 11cm.

Edge the topper with Periwinkle Archival ink and add to the front of a 5" x 5" white card blank.

To finish, edge one of the Pinky Gray Greetings stickers with the same ink and add it to the front of the card.
