Planning to Celebrate!

Happy Saturday!

It's the start of another challenge week at Drunken Stampers!  This week the Challenge is Person: Party Planner (Any Celebration)  Head over to Drunken Stampers (just don't drink and drive) and check out all the Designated Designers creations.  Then enter to become our Life of the Party this week!  We love to see all the fantastic creations you submit!


Well, my person is a touch too thin and pale.  He seems to be enjoying his birthday celebration  although he is a little stiff.  ;=)

The Birthday Skeleton stamp is from Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps.  He was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on X-Press paper and colored with Copics .  The other cardstock is from Club Scrap.  I embossed the silver paper with a Tim Holtz Riveted Metal Texture Fade.  I added Firefly Stickles on the hat and tie.  Also, the card was embellished with Card Candi and a Wish Adage Ticket from Tim Holtz.

I added this close-up of the Wish Adage Ticket since you cannot see the sparkle in the photo of the card.  It has been distressed with Pumice Stone and edged with Black Soot Distress Ink.  Then it was  covered with Distress Stickles: Dry Glitter-Clear Rock Candy









I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Crafter's Cafe Challenge #25-Bling and Sparkling Things   Firefly/Yellow Stickles and Distress Dry Glitter-Clear Rock Candy
