I have another fun birthday card today that was cased from Brandy Cox's challenge for the 2025 Winter Creativate Retreat. The challenge was to color embossed cardstock.
I thought this funny little dog from the One More Year stamp set looked a little tipsy. Maybe Bruno (he kind of looks like a Bruno doesn't he?) got into the New Year's Eve champagne. He certainly is surrounded by lots of bubbles thanks to the Dotted Circles embossing folder.
I colored my bubbles with Azure Afternoon, Crushed Curry and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Blends. If you try this technique practice on a "bubble" that will be hidden. The alcohol ink in the Stampin' Blends is apparently really attracted to the embossed cardstock. Ink the center of the dot and it spreads out almost like magic to the edges.
I used the same color cardstock mats for the inside of my card - Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lime Twist. Both sentiments are from One More Year. I separated one of them between the front and the inside by first masking the bottom of the sentiment to have only YOU'RE HOW OLD? on the front, and then masked the top so the inside would continue with "in dog years you'd be..."
Are you liking the cards this week from One More Year? If so, wait until you see the one for Friday! I cased a fun fold from another of the Creativate Team, and it is AWESOME! It's more sophisticated and definitely will be perfect for a couple of my girlfriends! Don't miss it!

Below is the list of products I used for this card.
In addition to those listed below, I used the One More Year stamp Set (Item #164777), which at the time of writing this post was not available to include in the list. As of January 7, it is available for purchase.
