Hello and welcome!
I had a little time to create today in the cave and I made more birthday cards for my stash.
Here's how I made them:
I took a piece of kraft card stock and watercolored it with Distress Inks. After it dried, I used Memory Box's "Pennington Rose" die to cut some from the kraft and cut from white and black too.
I pieced together the flower dies and came up with color combinations that I liked, then used Memory Box's "Stitched Rectangle Dies" to cut more of the watercolored paper. I stamped the sentiment "Happy Birthday" from Altenew's "Persian Motifs" stamp set. I added the larger rectangle to a white card base. I cut the front of the card on the right side and on the bottom and glued a piece of Gina K Designs striped patterned paper so it would peek out on the bottom and right side. For my other card pieced the watercolored rose in the white card negative space, added the black outline of the flower and added a thin strip of the watercolored paper to the bottom to anchor the card a little more.
Lastly I added clear Nuvo drops to finish both cards.
Here's a close up of each card:
I hope you like my watercolored kraft card stock creations!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
