Happiest of birthdays to you - Creative with Stamps #37

Monday April 1, 2019

 

Hello and welcome back to my blog..

Creative with Stamps #37 has a new challenge.

PLUS it's our 3rd birthday over at CWS..

wow 3 years went by quite fast. 

Our theme for this month is BIRTHDAY card

 

Also we wont be having a mid month reminder.. so please come back often and enter your card if you haven't entered your quota per our rules.

 

note: CWS challenges do not have many "guidelines",

but please read and follow the few we do have to be eligible to win.

 

 I wanted to use a Simon says stamp that I got in one of their monthly kits last year.. I stamped the image on water color paper and painted the image and background with Mission Gold water color paints. I dried it with a heat gun and stamped the sentiment and re-stamped the image ... dang it wasn't all the way dry so the bottom leaves and part of the sentiment ran.. Hubby didn't see it till I pointed it out.. but of course I can see it. (I remember doing a x stitch piece many many years ago... and made one mistake.. each time I look at this beautiful piece I still see it..)  back to my card. I cut the piece down a little and added to an piece of blue card stock. I really love the look and was a lot of fun to create.

 

Challenges:
Simon Wednesday - anything goes
Work it Wednesday at Simon Says - spring flowers
As you like it - favorite med. and why (paints, I like the blending and way you can create the background and give different depths.)
