It's my cousin's birthday this week! I'm using Anthony & Burt to help Steve celebrate.
- Stamped image on watercolor paper
- Starting with Burt, added dots of green and then spread with the water brush. For adding the darker green, I colored the marker on my non-stick mat and picked up the color with the water brush. I didn't want the color too intense. I continued with the various colors.
- For the yellow frosting, I used an opaque pen to make it look more like icing.
- Added a glitter pen to Anthony's wings and a metallic pen on the fork.
- I used a white gel pen to brighten Burt's eyes and added the pupils back in with a fine line marker.
- I then cut out the image with a deco die cut and layered on top of a larger deco die cute.
- Stamped the multi-layer cake image several times on an angle as the background in 'tone on tone' - same color ink as card stock. I also stamped the inside of the card with the cake.
- Assembled card and added embellisments

Darling card and beautifully colored. (I lived in Naperville many years ago. I'll bet it's changed a lot since I was there!)
