A Bubbly Birthday!

Hello fellow crafters, today, I have a Birthday card that is just..well...Bubbly! For the Sketch and Stash Challenge I used the Birthday Bubbles Stamp from Great Impressions.
 

 
This is my take on sketch 13.
 
 
I stamped the image onto crafter companion ultra smooth cardstock for alcohol markers and colored it with Spectrum Noir Markers. Pig: CR1, CR5, EB1, FS3 Bubbles: LB2 Water:TB1 Soap Suds:GG1 Bucket:EB7, EB8, BG3
 
I used Bazzil Cardstock in Teal and Salmon. For the corners, I embossed a 2x2 square of teal cardstock with the circles Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and cut it in half corner-wise. I then used a peach ink to highlight the embossed circles. I used Diamond Dust for the soap suds and Glossy Accents on the bubbles and was really pleased with how it turned out.
 
 
I used enamel dots from My Minds Eye, which is a new product for me.  A bling strip was used for the middle layer piece as I thought they looked like bubbles! Twine, Clear Button and Happy Birthday Sentiment from Stampin' Up! finished off my card.
 
For the inside of the card, I layered salmon cardstock with  the embossed teal corners. Then stamped the coordinating Bubbles Sentiment with Glossy Accents on the bubbles.
 
 
I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges:
 
Sketch and Stash Challenge #117 and DT Call- the enamel dots are new to my stash and the Diamond dust is an item that is neglected.
 
 
 
 
 
 Thank you for stopping by and Happy Craftin'!
