I'm loving AAA Birthday #50's June challenge - I love water color so much!
I went a little unusual route this round - it's not too obvious that this one is a birthday card, but I DID put a birthday sentiment inside, I swear, lol. I made this fairly simple card for an elderly friend, who loves scripture, lol. We actually were just talking over Psalm 27, and its good guidance, so this seemed perfect! Birthdays are not for the faint of heart, lol. I first did a color wash on watercolor paper in Berry Burst, and deliberately stamped on an edge where I could see some brush strokes, which might not rock everyone's boat, I know. I then stamped the surrounding fronds directly on the card base, and very carefully water-painted them, finishing with our new Tinsel Gems. I know she's going to love this!
