I've created a birthday card using a faux watercoloring technique. I used bright summer colors and added a bold birthday sentiment die-cut using navy cardstock.
Supplies Used:

The Paper Players #500 "Clean and Simple Celebrate" Challenge Congratulations on 500!
Inspired By "Pretty Blossoms" I was inspired by the floral theme and the colors in the bouquet.
I am so pleased you stopped by and hope to see your card in our challenge gallery.

ReplyDeleteI love that gorgeous Lotus image of Altenew's you've used for this card, Karen. Such a fun image to bring to life with those vivid colours and heat embossing. Adding the simple navy die-cut sentiment is the perfect finishing touch.
