Post 155: Spring Inspired Birthday Card 1

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share with you a spring inspired birthday card today. I really love the color combination so I created a few cards inspired by the same color combo. This is a landscape style A2 size card. I was inspired by this beautiful card made by the awesome Lydia Evans for W& W's Rerun No. 18 Challenge. I loved the design of her card and how the background was stamped and the sentiment was in the center so I did my take on the same. 

Synopsis of the Process:

The card panel is Canson Watercolor Paper which I die cut with a wonky stitched die. Then stamped various leaves, flower and bird images from 2 stamp sets, I mixed and matched the inks I had for the colors. Then I watercolored the leaves with zig markers and an aqua brush. For the sentiment, I die cut a snippet of black cardstock and also a snippet of vellum with rectangle stitched dies. Then heat embossed the birthday wishes greeting on the black die cut. Then I mounted the black die cut onto the vellum with foam tape and stuck the vellum to the card panel. Finally, adhered the panel to the soft purple card base.
