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
Very cute and happy card

Hi Christina,
ReplyDeleteWhat 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 :)
