Another card for Janelle's Just a Drizzle MIXed media challenge. This was a rather messy Brusho powder background from my box. I put my hot glue stencil (see video in the challenge) over it and misted it with Brusho Acrylic Mist in lemon. And ended up with a very bright and funky background which I couldn't think how to use yesterday.
This image is one that I coloured during the week to replenish my stash, and I thought the colours in the background and in the candles would go well together - and the yellow circles from the stencil echo the candle flames. Unfortunately the background was only A2 and would have almost disappeared if I'd put the image straight on top - so I cut it in half, and added a strip of card embossed with a Happy Birthday folder in between the two panels.
Image was coloured with Polychromos pencils. There's SN clear glitter pen on all the flames and the white candle, and the candy-stripe candles have Liquid Pearls for one of the stripes.

This is another GREAT card using that technique...I love this bright, wild looking bg for your little birthday image. And the white embossed strip is a terrific way to break up all the brightness of the bg colors. I may have to use this idea and build up my birthday stash...thanks for the inspiration.

I adore this card Sabrina! Not only is this image as darling as darling can be, but you stepped it up a notch with your wonderful artsy bg. The embossed white strip looks very intentional and draws your eye right to this wonderful image panel. I am so impressed and inspired that I am putting this into my favs! ~Karen.

What a fantastic background for a very sweet card! I am intrigued with the Brusho acrylic spray technique. Love that little bear peeking through the birthday candles. You sure had fun with the MIX challenge this week, Sabrina!
