Creative Knockouts - Border Time

It is Thursday and that means it is time for another challenge at the Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog.  This week's challenge is Border Time - feature a border on your card, whether it be all the way around or just horizontal.  

Here is my design team card for this week's challenge.

Happy Birthday Card Recipe

This card came together quickly although the background was ready to go.  I stole the background from Jennifer McGuire.  Maybe stole is a harsh word.  I watched a Jennifer McGuire video and made this alcohol ink background using the techniques Jennifer McGuire shared.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions and the stamp is called Bubble Sentiments.  Love, love, love this stamp set.  Happy Birthday was stamped on Bristol card stock using Versamark ink and heat set with Nuvo Black Embossing powder.  Tombow markers were used to color the letters and adding water gave them a watercolor look.  I put some of the Tombow color down on a non stick mat and added water to get some splatter.  The coordinating background was created using alcohol ink.  The border was created with a stiched scallop die from My Favorite Things.  Enamel dots topped off the card.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in next time for another paper crafting project or maybe a t-shirt.  Have a great day and enjoy the journey and some chocolate.
