"Happiest Birthday, Gracie Chavez"

Am so delighted to join Graciellie Design Birthday Blog hop for today. We have several new releases and I have used this Uber Gorgeous Tulips from Tulips & Daisies Digital stamp set.

Over to the project,

• Printed the tulip digis making a floral spray on a watercolor card.
• Colored using Zig clean color brush pens. Geranium red for petals and for leaves used Green and Dark green brush pens.
• For the bg, used Gansai Tambi watercolors (Green and Yellow)
• Finally sprayed generous amount of watered down white acrylic paint.
• Trimmed and matted this panel over a 4x6" side fold Black card base. (*sentiment is hand stamped)
• As a final touch, added clear dew droplets as accents.

Supplies used :  Tulips & Daisies

Stampendous Bouquet for you : Happy Birthday card

Hiya Friends!

Am still in Spring mood! Yet another floral birthday card here for you all.

This lovely bunch of florals is made using a gift from a dear Crafty friend, Kanan Pandya, whose watercolored cards are my ever favorite!  She has sent me this Stampendous: Bouquet for you Stampset few years ago and I love using it often!

You can check my earlier creations using this stampset here and here

Masked and made into cute floral spray using No line coloring with Fabercastell polychromos pencils. These were colored during Kathyrac's dailymarker coloring contest. Now made it into a card. I colored the fussy cut ends with black marker to give a neat look.

• Took a watercolored cardstock.
• Splashed with water centrally and added Limegreen Brusho crystals over it and heat set it.
• Went over with Prima Marketing- Finnabair Lightpaste with TCW 'Art is' stencil diagonally over the colored portion of the card.
• Stamped the sentiment from Inspired by Stamping using Memento Black.
• Matted the panel over A2 sized Black card base by trimming it a bit.
• The added the fussy cut florals with foam adhesives.
• Couple of purple fussy cut butterflies with few clear dew droplets to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!
