Happy Birthday Thinlits on Watercolour Background

What could be easier? .... A watercolour background and a couple of die cuts!

An eye-catching card made with a watercolour background and Happy Birthday Thinlits

For the watercolour background, I saturated the watercolour paper and then dropped ink onto it directly from the bottle.  The colours I used were Grapefruit Grove, Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape.

The colour palette is: Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Grapefruit Grove

The base card is made from a 6.25" x 8" piece of Grapefruit Grove cardstock folded in half at 4".  The layers are Gorgeous Grape and Coastal Cabana.

I cut both Grapefruit Grove and Gorgeous Grape cardstock with the Happy Birthday Thinlits and layered them onto the card front, off-setting them slightly.
TIP:  Placing Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet on the back of the cardstock before die cutting, makes it easy to stick the die cuts in position.

Petal Passion Happy Birthday

I have always loved colouring in!  It was something I would spend hours doing as a child and remains a firm favourite for me!

Petal Passion Memories & More cards make great card fronts!

I don't always have much time to spend on it now though so I'm loving the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack!  They make it so easy to squeeze in a little bit of colouring for a great effect!  

For this particular card I used the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

I used the Happy Birthday die on scraps of Rose Red and Pink Pirouette cardstock and layered them together for the shadow effect - easy to do with the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet applied to the back of the cardstock before cutting!

The base card is Daffodil Delight and I added a layer of Basic Black cardstock behind the decorated card.

Thank you for visiting.
