Party Girl Florence (Created by Lisa Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!
 
Happy Saturday! Here's a card that should make you chuckle some...What a fabulous and fun image to create a birthday card with! 
 
 
This is Party Girl Florence (S098) and Lg. Fancy Happy Birthday (H037) Sentiment. 
 
I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I applied some Zig-Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen on the party hat, noise maker and necklace for a touch of sparkle.  Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to see in this picture.  
 
The pattern paper is from Carta Bella-It's A Celebration 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some SU Not Quite Navy and White cardstock.  The image was cut down to an appropriate size, then a layered piece of cardstock was offset.  The sentiment was stamped with a versamark ink pad then heat embossed using black embossing powder.  Both the image and sentiment was adhered to the card base using foam tape to add some dimension.  To complete this card, a couple of lines of dots were added above and below the sentiment with Mint Green Liquid Pearls.  Also, a couple of YNS Gumdrops that were also Mint Green were included in the top left corner of the image.  I am not sure why the gumdrops appear to be off colour in this picture, but in real life they do match quite nicely.  This was such a fun card to make!  

Supplies Used:
Ink - Tombow Markers - 055, 723, 761, 528, 243 and N95.  Versamark Ink Pad and Black Embossing Powder.
