Rainbow Bubbles For this card I used, Whip Cream Cardstock for the Card Front, and Riverstone for the Card Base. Using Journey Splash (Lemon Grass and Cool Pool) I filled little containers half-way with water then added about 3 sprays of the splash into the container. Next I stamped my background image by using a paint brush to color the background stamp Ink Splat. I then stamped the large fish from the Rainbow bubbles stamp twice onto whip cream cardstock using Denim Days. I used the same water color technique and then applied my heat gun to the whip cream cardstock to help it dry quicker. I then fussy cut both fish, the top most layer only the body fin of the fish and popped it on top of the bottom layer. I then water colored it as well with the Journey Splash and then used Medium Foam Adhesive squares to adhere to the card front. Using my Tape Runner I married the card front and card base together.

Happy Birthday Cocoa Cardstock for the Card Base, Whip Cream Cardstock for the card front and image, Printed Paper (Retired by FSJ) I colored the Steampunk Image with Journey Color Burst Pencils, then fussy cut the image out. I applied Journey Glass to the monocle, several buttons and glass items on the image. Using Denim Days and the Ink Splat Stamp I created a background, I then adhered the steampunk Images Š Fun Stampers Journey 2011 - Current

image to the whipcream card base with the inked splat background. It gave the illusion of wings on the steampunk image. I then used my scissors and roughed up the edges of the whip cream cardstock. Using the retired FSJ printed paper I created the card Front and again used the scissor distress technique on the paper. I adhered the printed paper to the Cocoa card base using the tape runner. I popped up the front of the card and then stamped Happy Birthday on an additional Whip Cream panel on the inside of the card in Denim Days.

** both cards are standard A2 size **No measurements of paper were made, just eyeballed it and cut
