Simon Hurley's birthday release is here! There are adorable new rubber stamps, clear stamps and coordinating dies from this release and I have a few of them to share on today's card. I was gifted the new products from Ranger Ink and wanted to combine them on a card to celebrate. I started with stamping my images with an archival ink so I could do some watercoloring with my MISTI.
The gifts and balloon images have coordinating solid stamps that you can use to fill in the outline stamps. I used two different ink pad colors for each solid image to give it more of a two-tone or shaded look. I used watered down ink with a paint brush to color in my geese - I just love the one with the tied party hat! When the images were dry, I die cut them out along with a "happy birthday" sentiment.

For the background, I trimmed a piece of blue cardstock to 4x5.25" and used my MISTI and a low tack mat from Scrapbook.com to keep the paper in place. I used the Fading Lines Cling Mount Rubber Stamps for the background and inked it up with two shades of blue ink. I used a water sprayer to mist the stamp and then stamped the lines onto the blue paper. I set it aside to dry while I cleaned up my desk.
To assemble the card, I adhered my background to an A2 card base, glued the gifts with liquid adhesive and popped up the rest of my images and sentiment with foam adhesive. This was a relatively quick card, but I think the geese just make the card and anyone would be excited to receive it! Let me know what you think of the new release in the comments.
