Marquee Messages Birthday

Marquee Messages is one of my favorite stamp sets and I used it to make a card for the birthday of one of my favorite people. The retro image really pops and a little simple fussy cutting gives it dimension. I chose colors that screamed "50's" to me. I started with Shimmery White card stock, which watercolors beautifully, and used my favorite watercolor background technique (tutorial coming soon). The main image is stamped 3 times in 3 different colors.  Cut and layer the images

For a little dazzle add some rhinestone bling and some hand cut silver glimmer paper stars.  I also used the Wink of Stella Clear Ink for some shimmer on the "It's Your" -- oh boy do I love that ink!

I find it easiest to stamp the base image leaving it whole, which gives you a template to place the other images precisely.

Tip:  When stamping with photopolymer stamps use the Stampin' Pierce Mat under your paper. !
