CYCI160 - Another Birthday Card!!

It's another lovely Sunday with another Birthday card!! I never seem to have enough on hand!

My card today was pretty quick... I know I've said that before, but this one was seriously quick! Outside of the drying time... I'd say 6 minutes TOPS! This is one of those quick ones that you can duplicate... which is what I'm doing. Haha! 

I still had the Floral Bliss stamp set on my desk so... I stamped the image of the flowers onto watercolor card stock in Archival jet black ink. I colored the panel by sprinkling some of the Color Burst pigment and then spraying it with my water bottle. I let the pigment do it's magic and soak into the paper for a few minutes. I then soaked up the excess water with a paper towel. I set it aside to dry and die cut the 'happy birthday' words in Brushed Silver card stock. Once the panel was dry, I adhered it to a piece of Brushed Silver card stock. I then adhered the strip of silver and the words. All that was left to do was adhere the entire piece to my white card base. Seriously quick card!

~ Happy Birthday Watercolor ~

I was inspired by the CASology cue card: LOUD to make this very bright Happy Birthday card using ZIG markers. I had a lot of fun watercoloring this card.

I recently got my June card kit from Simon Says Stamp. It has this gorgeous floral stamp that I thought would be fun for a watercolor birthday card. I stamped it in Ranger Archival jet black ink. I colored the image using the ZIG markers direct on the watercolor paper. I think it's a very bright and loud floral birthday card (just wish it wasn't a cloudy day so I could have gotten a better picture). The sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Wet Paint set was stamped using distress inks.

Here are the products I used for this card:

Stamps: Floral Bliss (SSS), Wet Paint (PTI)

Card Stock: White (PTI), Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor (SSS)

Inks: Ranger Archival Jet Black, Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn (SSS)

Adhesive: Tombow Mono Multipurpose glue (SSS)

Miscellaneous: ZIGS Clean Color Real Brush markers (Amazon)
