To throw in some extra fun the DT was asked to create a background with a color blending technique along with the typeprint/sheet music challenge.

Heres your links to some wonderful designs to get you inspired:
Karen Amidon...that's me!
 I've die cut a portion of the beautiful Large Violet Stamp and colored it with Copics. Blue and lavender Pearlescent Chalk was softly color blended to shadow the image.



The crosshatch pattern for the background was made by blending distress inks and watercolor pencils. For the typeprint the Summer Flower Background Stamp  was inked up with London Fog. 
     

 Three of the violets have been fussy cut and popped up with foam tape. The ribbon for the bow has been color blended with Copics.



On the inside Happy Birthday was stamped onto the background that was created with distress inks and watercolor pencils.

Thanks for looking and hope to see your designs in the challenge!
