Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Wednesday Water Colour - Best Birthday

Hi Everybody,

These cute little images are  from a stamp set called  Best Birthday and I bought mine from  Clearly Besotted  and I really enjoyed making this card.

There is a matching die set  that can be bought separately from the same company

You will find the link to them permanently listed on the Pretty Things...  page in the side bar to the right.

They have a wonderful selection of stamps and dies and they are a UK company.

I have bought many sets from them and they have lovely sentiments too

So back to the card.... I stamped and masked off the images in the arrangement I wanted

I sat and water coloured them with the Gansai Tambi paints.

Then once it was dry I added in Glossy Accents to create the shine.

I added it to the card front with craft foam underneath as this helps to flatten the water colored card and then I rounded the corners of panel and card base.  The flowery strip down the left is Washi Tape just to finish the look.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  8. Hi Christina,
    What a cute card! I rushed over to have a look at the site and wasn't surprised at all to see this stamp set was out of stock! I think it's one I'm going to have to add to my collection in the near future so I'll keep an eye out for the re-stock :). I love the glossy accents on the balloons. I can see happy faces of anyone who gets a card like this :)

  20. Hey! Love this sweet card! All four of my grands would enjoy getting it! I like that you 'glazed' them. Washi tape is so much fun and easy-peasy, to boot. Always enjoy my emails even if I don't always respond.
