Watercolor Birthday Card!

Welcome back crafty friends!
Happy to be back with a watercolor birthday card inspiration today.

I stamped *Cherry Chip Chimp with Versa-Mark and heat emboss with black embossing powder. To coloured I used various ink pads and my Wink Stella pen. After the image was all done I fussy cut it and used some Glossy Accent. The paper is *Little Boys And Their Toys from ThePaperStudios. To finish I added a few dots with *Dandellon Yellow NUVO Crystal Drops.

Here is how the inside looks!

I LOVE decorating the inside of my cards. For the inside I used the same pattern paper and stamped one of my favorites sentiment called *Happy Birthday Script  from High Hopes Stamps

Happy Birthday Cuppy Cake!

 Happy February High Hopes Fans!

This month is all about Birthday's! What a great way to beat the February blues - we can party all month long! <smile>

I have a few friends who's spouses call them "Cupcake" as their pet name so when I saw this stamp I knew I had to make it into a Birthday card for one of them. 

Meet "Cherry Chip Chimp" with his extra large cupcake!

I coloured my image using alcohol markers and cut it out with a stitch marks and pierce marks die - this die set is part of a Christmas present to myself I have been waiting to use! A combination of patterned paper from Echo Park and Carta Bella were perfect for my layout using the new sketch for this month's challenge. 

I used some white acrylic paint for the icing to add some texture - icing isn't always smooth at least not when I do it  - and some glitter to add a little sparkle. 

The sentiments are stamped and one is fussy cut the other is cut out using a fishtail banner die. It is fun to be able to use part of a sentiment to complete your message. A couple white gumdrops finish off my card.

Watercolor...Cherry Chip Chimp!

Carolina

Happy Monday, High Hopes Fans!

 Today I am using "Cherry Chip Chimp" and "Hope your day is Tea-riffic!"

from High Hopes Stamps!

 Find this adorable image and tons more here at High Hopes Stamps!

To start off, pulled out my Gansai Tambi Watercolors to do a bit of watercoloring.

I used a medium brush to dab two colors all over my background.

Once my watercolored panel was dry, I used Texture paste and Bubble Layering Stencils from Tim Holtz. Them I die cut it using Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables from Lawn Fawn.

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolour with

Gansai Tambi watercolors. Once the image was dry, I fussy cut it leaving a small white border.

My background turns so pretty, so I decided not to cover it. I cut a vellum tag using Tag, You're It from Lawn Fawn. The Twine is from My Mind's Eye. I pop my image with 3D foam tape.

Finally, I finished the card off by using some Clear Sparkling Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, Diamond Stickles, and Glossy Accent.

For the inside I used another wonderful stamped "Happy Birthday" from High Hopes Stamps.

Hope you're being inspired to created something pretty!

It's time for our March Challenge.  Please join the fun for your chance to win your choice of 2 High Hopes Stamps!
