CAS(E) This Sketch #137

Today, I have a card to share that I made for

 CAS(E) This Sketch #137 designed by N@ Ali:

Here's my card:

I started with some Studio Calico patterned paper as my background.

I stamped the raccoon from Mama Elephant's Three Amigos stamp set in versafine onyx black ink 

onto some watercolour paper and coloured him in with some Zig Clear Colour Brush markers.
I stamped the little cake (from Reverse Confetti's Later Alligator stamp set)
and coloured it in as well.
Then, I used my kraft knife and a ruler to cut the angles and trimmed out the raccoon by hand.

I blended some ocean tides ink onto another piece of the watercolour paper
and diecut it with the Simon Says Stamp word die.
I stamped the "birthday wishes" from PTI's KIS: Belated Birthday
in versamark and heat embossed it on true black cardstock.
