A Special Wish and Papercraft Star Challenge

I made this card for a very special friend's birthday...happy birthday special friend!  The card is based on challenge #34's sketch over at Papercraft Star.  It's yet another sketch created by Liz Chidester (I know...big surprise, huh?)  I can't help it, I told you I loved her sketches.  Here's the sketch

And here's the card I created...



Supplies used: Cardstock - The Paper Company; Flowers - Prima; Ink - StazOn in Timber Brown, VersaMagic in Sahara Sand and Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink in Charcoal; Mist - Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist in Juneberry Wine; Patterned paper - Fancy Pants; Ribbon - Dear Lizzy by American Crafts; Stamps - Imaginisce (ticket) and Hero Arts (sentiment); Sticker - Fancy Pants; Transparency - Fancy Pants



I did a lot of distressing/altering on this one.  First I cut a 3 1/2" circle out of the cute polka-dotted transparency, I inked the edges in StazOn and then used my heat embossing tool to warp the edges a bit and set the ink.  Then I cut the triangles from patterned paper and inked the edges in VersaMagic to create the banner.  I misted the base patterned paper which was more aqua than purple to make it match the rest of the card elements.  I stamped the tickets onto matching patterned paper, fussy cut them and inked the edges in VersaMagic.  I love how it turned out...I hope my friend does too!
