One Year Wiser card for Retro Sketches

Hello crafty friends!
Happy Friday!! Woah as if it's Friday already! Yay! I love short work weeks!

Here today to share a card I made for the Retro Sketch challenge blog. 




I used the Birthday Owl set by Lil Inker Designs. I started with a white card stock panel and stamped my cute little owl on. I also stamped him on some scrap paper to create a mask to be able to sponge in my background color. I create my masks by stamping my image on paper, fussy cutting it out and using temporary adhesive to cover my images. I drew his branch by hand and stamped the clouds from the Sunny Skies set from Lawnfawn. I needed to mask off these images as well but because I didn't have a stamp for the branch, I masked it off with rubber cement. Once all my images were stamped and masked I blended in Broken China Distress Ink for the background. After removing my masks I colored my images with Copic markers and covered the clouds and balloons with clear wink of stella as well as glossy accents to give it a shine. I die cut the Stitched Hillside Border die from Lawn fawn and the Picket Fence die from Pretty Pink Posh to add on the bottom to finish my scene.
My scallop border die on the side is from the Adorning Accents set from Stampin up and I just finished the card off with gems!

 That's it for my card! Supplies listed below. Hope you all have a lovely Friday and fantastic weekend! Thank you for stopping by to look at my card!!

 Copics markers used:
Owl:E00 E11 E55 E57 E59 R20
