Happy Birthday cup card

Hello. My son's birthday was this weekend so I made a few birthday cards. I ended up giving him an older one I had made but I thought I would share the last one I made on the blog

I just can't resist trying to make my own backgrounds with my Copic markers. 

I started my coloring random rectangles with BG72 all over my A2 card panel. I took a .03 permanent pen and drew loosely inside the colored rectangles. Then I took BG70 and colored all the white space. I trimmed that down 1/8" on the top and side and mounted it on black card stock.

I colored the image and then used used BG70 to wash the white card stock around it and the sentiment. I used the same black pen to draw a border around them. These were mounted on black and well and then popped up with foam tape.
