Make A Card | Todd’s Birthday Card

I made this card for Todd’s birthday, which was last week.  I thought it turned out pretty well. This was the first time I tried ink-blending a background and also partial diecutting.  I had to practice on some scratch paper first!

I used Brilliance ink in Pearlescent Sky Blue on the background, sweeping it up from the bottom with a mini ink blender.  You can see the shiny-ness in this photo below.
