My mom's 90th birthday is today...the first day of Spring! We are having a little party on Friday with family and friends to celebrate. But today, she is getting a birthday cake to share with her friends at her nursing home and this card.
This was my third attempt at making this card! I first stamped it on watercolor paper and tried watercoloring. Major fail and it ended in the trash! Then I tried Zigs on Bristol smooth cardstock. That worked until I tried to mask the flower and sponge some Distress ink around it. There was some splotching and dark patches that appeared from where, I do not know! I tried to cut it out to save it, but failed again! So I tried again with the Zigs and used another blue marker to watercolor around it. That worked, finally! I added it to a scalloped mat and then added the die cut numbers and sentiment. The panel was sprayed with shimmer and I added some star dust stickles to the center of the yellow flower and some crystals.
Thanks for stopping by!
