Paper Pumpkin Monday--Watercolor Gold
It's Monday, and that means Paper Pumpkin projects! This card was made with the "leftovers" of a gold flower from the February Paper Pumpkin kit--Hello Sunshine.
To make the watercolor wash background, just cut your watercolor paper to size, brush a little plain water over it, then dip your Aquapainter or paintbrush in ink and add as much color as you like. I did a little spattering for this one--I like how it looks like it's rain-spattered. Just tap the brush on your finger over the paper.
To use the remnants of this gold blossom, I used Frog Tape for Delicate Surfaces, but other people are using Press N Seal with great success! Try what you have first. Press your sticky material of choice over the leftover bits of the flower, then rub gently to help the sticky stuff pick up all the pieces. Pull up gently, re-doing any parts that don't come up correctly.
Lay your homemade rub-on on your card surface, then carefully rub till all the parts are adhered where you want them. This particular flower was a bit tricky, as it had so many tiny parts. The Coral flower in this post was easier to manage.

Wildflower Fields and Birthdays
Sometimes within one set of Designer Series Paper, you can find very different styles! These two cards are made with the same sketch, the same greeting, and the same Wildflower Fields DSP pack!
One is great for masculine birthdays--and don't we sometimes struggle to make those! The other is great for feminine birthdays.
Next time you're trying to make a card for one of the men in your life, consider just changing the paper from something you already like!

Glitter Tape and Flowering Fields DSP
There are a few other Sale-a-bration products on this card, as well: Glitter Tape, Botanicals Vellum, and the happy birthday stamp from Sky Is the Limit.
The Glitter Tape comes in a pack of 3: Gold, Silver, and White. For this card, I used a Sponge Dauber to add Lost Lagoon ink to the White Glitter Tape. I love that you can see through it to the DSP behind.

February Paper Pumpkin birthday card
You already know I love Paper Pumpkin! Iin addition to all the marvelous goodies in the boxes, there is always a photopolymer stamp set. Today I'm featuring this card both on my blog and on my Card Buffet Facebook page to show you another way to use the stamps in February's Hello Sunshine kit.
First I did a wash of Pool Party ink on watercolor paper and let it dry. Next I used my MISTI stamp positioner to stamp the "happy birthday" till it was even. If you've ever tried to stamp on watercolor paper, you know it can be bumpy and spotty. With the MISTI, I can keep stamping in precisely the same place until the words are legible! MISTI saves the day (again)!
Then I added the floral images to the whole card with Calypso Coral, Basic Gray, and Pool Party inks. I used a sequin from the February Paper Pumpkin kit and some tiny rhinestones to add a little bling.
There are still refills for this kit available, and it's a fabulous one! Make sure you sign up for Paper Pumpkin by March 10 to get the next kit delivered right to your door! Only $19.95 plus tax (shipping is included).
