Trio of Birthday Cards

Hi and how's life at your place....

Not much in the way of card making last week as we had the girls sleepover for 3 nights and they do keep you busy... Saturday I rested most of the day too pooped to move.  Here they are at the local shopping centre where they had different craft activities 

So I got time today to finish off a few WIPs --  some loose watercolouring images I had started

• This PSX Hibiscus was stamped with Versafine smokey grey and then watercoloured with Distress Inks:  ripe persimmon, mustard seed,  mown lawn, shabby shutters, salty ocean
• Trimmed to a square panel and lastly added a sentiment from Happy Little Stampers Dandelion Wishes, stamped with Versafine black and clear heat embossed

• This Hero Arts Polka dot vase bouquet was stamped with black Versafine and watercoloured with Distress Oxide: kirsch flamingo, Distress Inks: mown lawn, mustard seed, fossilised amber, candied apple
• Trimmed the panel and added a bright pink frame... stamping the sentiment in black Versafine, clear heat embossing - from Happy Little Stampers Fun Birthday Sentiment

• Using this Stampendous Fresh Bloom stamp, I inked the stamp with Distress Ink: seedless preserves, mown lawn using the mini cubes
• Then I loose watercoloured the image by dragging the colours from the stamped ink.  Added a few splats of seedless preserves 
• And stamped the sentiment from Close to my Heart -Joyful Birthday Occasions... used Versamark and heat embossed with Sizzix Fir Tree embossing powder

I am playing along with 

• CAS Mix Up January challenge - Loose Watercolouring
• Watercooler Wednesday WWC332 - Tristan's challenge - All things feminine.
