Birthday Wishes


Some time to myself today and I've watercoloured this Power Poppy Orchid, using the colour palette from Power Poppy Hues to Use - Maroon, Salmon Pink and Olive Green.  I also used the layout at Freshly Made Sketches FMS#330.  I fussy cut my image and in my stash found a strip of Distress Oxides for the background. I decided to add a die cut scribble behind my image which I mounted with foam tape.  Then to finish stamped my sentiment on a die cut label and sponged the edge.  I used a spotty embossing folder to change the card base from just plain and I really like how it has come up.  I am also playing along with Happy Little Stampers April Watercolour challenge - Anything Goes and Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Anything Goes. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day
