Let's Taco 'bout Your Birthday

Here's my card for the current Lawn Fawnatics masculine themed card challenge.  I used a trio of Lawn Fawn's stamp sets for this fun birthday card.

My focal image is a cluster of images from the Year Nine, Let's Toast, and So Smooth stamp sets.  I colored the images with Copic markers, then cut out the images with the matching dies or with my Scan 'n Cut machine.  For the background, I used a mix of distress inks and distress oxides to create a gradient of colors from coral red to orange to yellow.  The images were arranged on the inked panel using foam tape for dimension. I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Year Nine set on strips of narrow red cardstock and adhered them at the top of the panel.  After accenting the cluster of images wtih a trio of matte enamel dots, I adhered the finished panel to an orange card base.
