It took me almost a week to finish this card. I did a little bit and walked away while things dried. I used the Misti to stamp this image so I could re-stamp it to get a really dark image. I masked the bears and the hats and then inked in a floor. Then I used the bamboo stencil for the background. I forgot to mask the floor. I cut the ruined floor off and attached what was left to the wood patterned paper I had just bought. I was so glad I had that. When the card was assembled, I added the Glossy Accents and Wink of Stella. I let that dry/cure for almost 24 hours. The inside is just a great big stamped Happy Birthday on Neenah Solar white, matted with the same dark brown cardstock that is on the front.
