Otterly Happy Birthday

Hey friends, I'm sharing a card today showcasing the adorable otters from the 'Otter Variety' clear stamp set illustrated by Crissy for Whimsy Stamps. All product links are listed below.

Card layers: Cardbase landscape A2 top-fold from white 110lb cardstock, black cardstock panel 4"x5.5", designer paper panel (Slimline Rainbow Magic) 3.75"x5.5", white Hammermill 100lb cardstock panel 2.25"x5.5".

How to create the card: Stamp images onto watercolor friendly paper (I used Strathmore mixed media paper) using waterproof ink (e.g. Versafine Clair Nocturn ink). Color images using Derwent Inktense pencils (or your favorite watercolor medium). Let dry and fussy cut. 

Stamp sentiment onto black cardstock with Versamark ink and heat emboss white, trim down to 1.75"x0.5". 
Using the Hello word and shadow die and the Glimmer machine (or any other hot-foil system) foil the word die with rainbow Glimmer foil onto the white cardstock panel. (Follow instructions on how to do foiling with dies for your particular machine). Assemble card according to picture using foam tape and glue.
