Happy 50th Birthday Elaine

My brother asked me to make a card for his wife Elaine's 50th birthday earlier this month. I took inspiration from Kath Evans on the Sizzix website and Cathie Cowles on her blog.

I used watercolour paper and a selection of Distress Oxide Inks. The dies are a Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits set called Happy Hour.

I used Glossy Accents to make the glasses look shine, and a touch of Stickles to add sparkle to the ice cubes and fizzy drinks.

I splashed some Dylusions Black Marble Ink spray over the background paper, before adding the elements.

The letters were cut using Tonic Studios Windsor letter and number dies, and a Hero Arts greeting die.

Happy Birthday Elaine.
Thanks for looking
