It can be a little difficult to find the right image for a Birthday card for a teenager, but you will find a few at Sassy Studio Designs. This image, Happy Teen, fits the bill perfectly, and can be entered into their challenge for this week, #31 Freestyle.
Water colour pencils were used on the image, and the edges were sponged with distress ink. I felt bold colours were needed to complement the bouncy theme of the stamp, and chose red and a golden orange. Stars seemed to be the perfect embellishment. The large star is chipboard that has been inked and then embossed with UTEE.
Gold 'Peel Off' star stickers add to the effect, along with the DP found in my stash. Assorted gems and yellow and red stickles add some further detail, and fill in the holes of the punched border.
