Hi, crafty friends. I have a sweet, relaxing birthday card to share today featuring the new Bubble Bath Time stamp from the Spring is in the Air collection from Purple Onion Designs, illustrated by Pei.

I stamped the image with black ink onto X-Press It blending card and colored it with Copics.

I added a mask to my image, then used the Bokeh Elements stencil duo from Waffle Flower to softly ink blend additional bubbles in an ombré effect in the background. I used Sweet Pea, Grapefruit and Buttercup inks, all colors from Concord & 9th, making sure to add slightly more color on the smaller circles than the large ones, while still keeping it fairly light.

I stamped a sentiment from the Good Libations stamp set using Dragonfruit ink from Concord & 9th, and I also stamped a sentiment from the Summer Days sentiment set using Grapefruit ink.

I trimmed my panel down slightly and added it with of dimension to a top fold white card base that I ombré ink blended using the same three colors I used with the stencils. I did also add a dot of black Glaze pen to the eyes of the ducks for a finishing touch.

Simple color palette for this one.
