Happy Birthday Garden

Hi there,

today, I would like to share this cute birthday card with you. I tried a new technique and I call it  Inktense Glitter Watercoloring. I love all that sparkle and shine, don't you?

• stamp the hummingbird, grasses and flowers from the Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens set with Versafine (Onyx Black) on watercolor paper
• fill Perfect Pearls Mist (Perfect Pearl) into a cheap waterbrush (it is important to use one without a valve beacuse the glitter is too big to get through that) or use a damp paint brush
• color the images using Derwent Inktense Pencils and the "Glitter Waterbrush"
• cut a panel from patterned paper from the Hello Sunshine 6x6 petite paper pack and stamp the stitched border from Technique Tuesday In Stitches with Versafine (Smokey Gray); cut a hill shape from the Lawn Fawn Let's Polka 6x6 petite paper pack
• add Pretty Pink Posh Sequins (4mm Metallic Silver)
• run a piece of light kraft cardstock though the Sizzix Texture Boutique using the Sizzix Dots embossing folder and ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Pumice Stone)
• stamp the sentiment from Avery Elle Written in the Stars with Versamark on a vellum strip and heat-emboss with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
