Hello! It’s Crystal here with a super fun birthday card using Art Impressions Sunny Shades stamp set. Isn’t this a funny set?! I just love these fun ladies in this image!

I stamped the image using VersaMark watermark ink onto watercolor paper and then heat embossed some ultra fine black embossing powder. Since the image has some smaller detailed spots, I wanted to be sure that the watercolors would stay where I put them – so that’s why I heat embossed the image. I also did it for the cake… all those candles were so much easier to watercolor with the raised image.

Once I had my images ready, I pulled out my ZIG Clean Color Real Brush watercolor brush pens and had a blast coloring. I did pick out my papers beforehand so that I could pull the colors from the papers to use on the images. Sometimes, I do the reverse and then panic trying to find the right paper so I wanted to avoid that.

I thought this sentiment was hilarious and I really designed the whole card based on it! Too funny!

Not sure who will get this fun card, but I sure had a ton of fun making it! This fabulous stamp set is available in the shop… here!

Thanks for stopping by!

See ya next time.
