Easy Watercolor Birthday Wishes

This card is one of my favorites that I've made lately. When I was designing projects with my free Sale-a-bration paper Perfectly Artistic DSP,  the "back" (the non-swirly-marbled side) reminded me of the Watercolor Wishes kit! So I pulled out my Extras bag from that kit--which is my very favorite kit of ALL time--and used the sequins and the stamp set.

The Flower Fair Framelits helped me put together flowers that were a lovely watercolor style. I used the leftover pieces of the Perfectly Artistic DSP to cut them.

This card has been my most popular post ever on Facebook, so I wanted to share it here for my readers who aren't FBers. Be sure to send me your birthday and address if you'd like to receive a birthday card from me!  #imbringingbirthdaysback

Sneak Peek: Glitter Tape Birthday for FMS 223

One of the new choices for Sale-a-bration (beginning Feb 16) is this beautiful Metallic Glitter Tape. It perfectly matches the Gold Glimmer Paper, so I used both on this card.

 

I'm finding that I like a narrower width, so I've been cutting the tape in half--it will last longer that way, too! 

I used the FMS223 sketch you can find here at Freshly Made Sketches:

Perfectly Artistic DSP and CTS#158

I'm on a birthday card binge! Check out my Card Buffet Facebook page to add your birthday to my list and receive a handmade birthday card from me!

My very favorite birthday greeting stamp is from the Watercolor Wishes kit. I love the fonts! I used the banner thinlit from the Gift Card Envelope and Trims set to make all 3 banners. This die stays out on my cutting table at all times, I use it so much! Just a bit of Silver Foil cardstock, Basic Gray cardstock embossed with Tiny Triangles, and Birthday Bouquet DSP create subtle touches of texture for the card.

This card was inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #158

I'm a Clean and Simple stamper by nature, so this sketch was a fun one to use! I let the gorgeous Perfectly Artistic DSP from Sale-a-bration do most of the work. Get it while it lasts, as it's set to disappear Feb 15!

Watercolor Resist Just for You

I never feel very confident about water coloring, but I love to do it anyway! In the end, it usually turns out beautifully as long as I don't mess with it too much.

Watercolor resist is easy! Stamp your image in versamark and emboss with clear or white embossing powder. Then watercolor! Ta da!

I die cut this image from the Sale-a-bration set Botanicals for You with the Lots of Labels Framelits. The papers are from the Love Blossoms DSP stack, which works for so much more than Valentine's Day! (Even though I love it for valentines, too!)

The Mini Treat Bag Thinlits are one of my most used die sets!

Heart Art Canvas

This is a 12x12 canvas covered with Spiral Flower Die blossoms. It was my turn to make the door prize for a team event in January, and this is what I decided on. My daughter helped me put all the flowers on the canvas, because I have a hard time with random placement. Ha! Everything I do tends toward symmetry.

You could make this sort of art in any shape. We've been thinking of making another one to have here at home!
