Time for a new watercolour challenge at CAS Mix Up up. Viv is our host this month and she has chosen the theme of flight to inspire us. Don't forget to check out our wonderful guest designer this month too, Joyce of cards by the sea.
Don't forget to use watercolour as your main medium and as always, make sure your card is CAS.
I am very pleased to have used this hummingbird stamp for the first time on this card.
I started this card by adding a watercolour wash to some watercolour card and die-cutting it for my background. The hummingbird was stamped and watercoloured with my Zig clean colour real brush pens. I added some wink of stella around the edges and fussy cut it out.
The flower is part of the same set as the bird and the happy birthday is stamped and heat embossed onto a left over piece of the watercoloured background
I am sorry that you can't see the sparkle on the pictures.
Supplies:
cardstock: cold pressed watercolour paper; adorable scorable coated card
Ink: Zig clean colour real brush pens
Stamps: Uniko
Dies: Nellies multi frames square
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
