I added extra layers of stencils and a dry embossed layer.
I smooshed a piece of mixed media cs with Fossilized Amber Oxide ink, added a bit of Iced Spruce and flicked on a bit of water. Then I stenciled some random patches of the TH Burlap stencil with Spiced Marmalade, some TH Gears stencil with Vintage Photo, and then the word "Time" from the TCW Word Association stencil with Iced Spruce.
I created a background layer by stamping the "birthday wishes" sentiment, and then running it through a distress-style embossing folder. I trimmed the stenciled panel down and mounted it on the background which I popped up on fun foam.
