Celebrate today and always

Thursday July 4, 2019
 
Hello and Happy 4th of July to all of us in the USA as it's Independence day..
 
Of course hello to everyone.. I hope your day is great..
I made an anniversary card for my son and his wife.. It's their anniversary soon and wanted to create the card that was in my head..
I used watercolor paper and stamped the Tech. Tuesday flowers and Simon Says leaves. I then used Mission Gold water color paints and painted the images. I took another piece of watercolor paper and using the left over paints on the palette I did a really light wash of those colors for the background. I tell you in person it's stunning. I then watered down some paints and did the splatters.. (I learned to do this in a box.. I learned my lesson last time.. LOL) I then fussy cut the leaves out and using the TT die for the flowers. I laid the images down till I liked what I saw and adhered the leaves right to the watercolor paper and added the flowers with foam dots. I stamped the Paper trey Ink sentiments. I finished with some Pretty Pink Posh jewels.  I truly love how this card came out.. I am sure they will enjoy it.

  7. BEAUTIFUL! I love how you achieved the two colors on the flowers - looks airy and beautiful! I always tend to be too heavy handed with the paints. :(

    So well done!
