birthday texture

its Monday! time for a new challenge over at Smudgy Antics...the theme this time is TEXTURE and lots of it! here is my offering

I made a birthday card with the master Poe and his lil raven...he is stamped and lightly colored and his lil raven friend is a digi all from the quoth the raven set...Poe's b-day hat is from the occasions grumpies set and the ravens is from somewhere online and added some red sparkle to it....the background paper was made by me...I painted white paper mostly red and then stamped my wood background stamp (from Smeared Ink's "Urban Decay") with black paint I then took some modeling paste and went over a circle mask, then added some towards the bottom and stamped Happy Birthday in it. I took some paper and ran it through my embossing machine and stuck mr Poe and his bird to that added some red thingies in the corners and there it is...I had so much fun adding texture to this! oh and I followed the new sketch on Smeared and Smudged created by Anna.

thanks for taking a look
