Birthday Holiday - Simon Says Stamp Watercolor Prints

Good morning! Dropping by once again today with another fun birthday card that I created recently using one of the adorable prints from the Suzy's Watercolor Prints - Celebrate Dads from Simon Says Stamp! Even though there are several images in there for Father's Day, there are also lots of images that are super versatile for other times of the year as well! Still working to replenish my depleted birthday stash, so I figured I'd make a birthday card again with one of the prints!


This image I decided to color with watercolor pencils - which is actually a medium I haven't used much at all, so it was super fun to play with them on this! I basically colored the entire image in with the pencils, then went over one section at a time with a wet brush to soften and blend the colors. I couldn't help but feel like I was doing one of those paint with water books from when I was a kid - so very fun!


Once that dried VERY thoroughly, I die cut it with Stitched Rectangle, then came back in with some of the colors to add additional shading and blending to finish it off. That was matted with a bit of white cardstock, then mounted on a Green Leaf top folding cardbase.


Finished off with a fun little sentiment from Tiny Words Birthday Stamp Set - heat embossed on a bit of Royal Purple cardstock and popped up with foam adhesive. Isn't this sentiment fun with this image?!?!?
