Happy Birthday Rainbow - Enjoy Your Day

Hello and welcome!

I've been on a big birthday card kick today and I have one last card for you.

This card is very similar to one I made HERE.

Recently Leisure Arts send their 36 pack of dual ended watercolor markers to the Joy Clair design team and I have had a lot of fun playing with them.  I've used them a lot for the smooshing technique.  (Scribbling them on my media mat and spraying them and the watercolor paper with water, then smooshing the paper into the ink.  It creates a beautiful splattered look on your watercolor paper.)

But for this card I decided to just roughly scribble them on a piece of card stock - very rough looking with stripes of color not blended at all.  I put them down in rainbow order and then cut them with the dotted flower border die from Poppy Stamps.  Below you can see the rough scribbles on the left.

I cut a 2nd border from black to help define the die cut, then added it to a card base at an angle.

Next I added sentiments from Joy Clair's "Life's a Breeze" stamp set.

Here are a few more pictures of my card:

I added clear droplets from The Stamp Market to the flower centers.  You can see them up close below:

I have really enjoyed using these markers - they are very budget friendly and can be used in a wide variety of ways.  My favorite is using them for watercolored backgrounds for my cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I will enter this in:
