Stampin' Up Silly Goose Birthday Card

 

Hi everyone 😀

I have taken a break from making Thank You Cards to make a Birthday Card for my daughter's birthday:

This is also my card for the following Challenges - click on the underlined links to take you to their blog:

• Alphabet Challenge Blog - F is for Feathers (my feathers are on the goose)

My daughter really loves playing "The Untitled Goose Game" which is a really fun video game that was developed in Australia.  So it really was a no-brainer to use the adorable Stampin'Up Silly Goose Set to make a card for her birthday.

I stamped the image onto Ranger Watercolour Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.  I coloured the image with a mix of Lyra + Derwent Watercolour Pencils + Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.   I used my Zigs to add some blades of grass underneath the goose.  Of course, after I had done that, I noticed that there is a stamp in the set that you can use to stamp grass.  I hadn't really noticed it before for some reason!  Isn't that goose just so adorable?!

I re-stamped the image and cut out just the balloon and went around the edges with an Anko Black Pigment Brush Pen to hide the white edge - then popped up the balloon on a 0.5mm foam pad.  I went over all the black lines of the goose etc. with an Anko 0.05 Black Pigment Pen to darken then up after my colouring.

I diecut the image using a My Favorite Things Inside and Out Stitched Rectangle Stax Die - then glued it to some designer paper.  I rounded the corners using a We R Memory Keepers 1/2" Corner Chomper.

The sentiment was diecut using an old retired Spellbinders Labels Trio Die.  This is another die that I have used countless times over the years.

All the designer papers are by Echo Park - Happy Birthday - which were released in 2017.  I didn't use any cardstock for my layers - they are all designer papers.

The bottom panel was punched using a Fiskars Scallop Border Punch.  The ribbon is from my stash and was originally purchased from KMart some years ago now.

Once I had finished my card front, I glued it to a Uniquely Creative White Card Base.  Final touches were Stampin' Up Dazzling Details Glitter Glue to the balloon and the party hat and three x Aqua Couture Creations Gemstones.

Finished size is:  4-1/8" x 5-3/16" or 105mm x 148mm.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
