Big Day Card

I made this cute card with my Stampin' Up! Big Day stamp set. I love this set because it's so cute and a lot of fun to use. I really like how this card turned out. The colors look amazing together and I love the bokeh technique. Here's how I made it:

First cut a 6" x 9 1/2" piece of turquoise card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4 1/2"  x 5 3/4" piece of gray for the middle layer, a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white for the front layer, a 1 7/8" x 2 1/8" piece of white for the sentiment, a 2" x 2 1/4" piece of turquoise for the sentiment's background, a 2" x 2" piece of white for the cake, a 2 1/8" x 2 1/8" piece  of turquoise for the cake's background, a 3/4" x 1 3/4" piece of white for the ice cream sentiment and a 7/8" x 1 7/8" piece of turquoise for the ice cream's background. Next create the background on the front layer with the bokeh technique. Click here for an awesome watercolor bokeh tutorial however I actually sponged mine. Here's how I did it:

First randomly sponge a piece of white card stock with the following Stampin' Up! ink pads: Bermuda Bay and Basic Gray and allow it to dry. *Hint-you can avoid darker spots if you begin sponging just off of the card stock and work your way in. In the mean time cut acetate with various sizes of circle dies to create a stencil. Using a sponge or sponge dauber, white craft ink, and the stencil, color in circles all over the card stock, overlapping some. Let the card stock dry completely then finish your card:

Then stamp the sentiment on the 1 7/8" x 2 1/8" piece of white card stock in Stazon Jet Black ink, watercolor it with an aqua painter and Bermuda Bay and Basic Gray inks, attach it to the 2" x 2 1/4" piece of turquoise card stock then attach it to the front layer with mini pop dots. Next stamp the cake on the 2" x 2" piece of white card stock in Jet Black ink and watercolor it with Bermuda Bay and Basic Gray inks, stamp the candles in the same colors except color the flames on the stamp with Daffodil Delight ink and a blender pen, attach it to the 2 1/8" x 2 1/8" piece  of turquoise card stock then attach it to the front layer with mini pop dots. Then stamp the ice cream sentiment on the 3/4" x 1 3/4" piece of white card stock with Basic Gray ink, attach it to the 7/8" x 1 7/8" piece of turquoise card stock, then attach it to the front layer mini pop dots. Then attach the front layer to the middle layer, the middle layer to the base and enjoy!
