Addicted to Stamps and More! ~ Challenge #513

The next challenge in our challenge rotation at Addicted to Stamps and More! is

Here's my card

For my card, I started by creating my background panel. You would think that based on the huge collection of patterned papers in my stash that I wouldn't have to create my own background paper. However, it's so fun. I started with a panel of 100 lb bristol and distress inks - wilted violet, cracked pistachio, mermaid lagoon. I smooshed the ink on a plastic place mat, spritzed a bit of water and picked up the ink with a piece of acetate packaging. I added one color at a time and continued until I was happy with the result. I let the panel dry. Once dry, I die cut it with a My Favorite Things' Stitched Square STAX die. I die cut the sprig using Memory Box's Large Olive Branch die and some silver cardstock and glued it to the smooshed panel, trimming the excess. For the sentiment, I used Clearly Besotted's A Little Sentimental with silver embossing powder on a white A2 card base. To complete my card, I adhered the watercolor panel to the card base with double-sided tape.

We'd love to see your BIRTHDAY creations in our gallery.
