Hey friends!! Wow... it has been awhile since I last posted. My desire to do any paper crafting kinda fell off a cliff, lol!! I tried over the weekend to make a few things but nothing came of it until late on Sunday evening. I finally came up with a couple of cards that I was happy with. Sharing one today that I made for the current Seize the Birthday - make the sentiment the focus.
I had thought I was going to get something made for the AAA Card Challenge to make something involving watercoloring, but wasn't able to come up with anything other than two panels that I water colored with some distress inks. Finally late on Sunday evening I made this card using a fun A Jillian Vance Design set called Celebrate Cake. I stamped the cake stand in black ink and then added the sentiment using Seedless Preserves distress ink. Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavender were the two colors I used to water color the panel. I trimmed down the panel, added the twine and clear sequins. Mounted it on a light grey card base.
Supplies: Cardstock: Simon Says Stamp fog; water color paper; Stamps: A Jillian Vance Design; Inks: VersaFine Onyx Black; Ranger Distress Inks; Black twine; clear sequins
