Happy Birthday Cards (using Altenew Stamps)

Hello my crafty friends! I started making my cards about a week ago. I did a sneak peek on my blog about the same time I water color the flowers. So tonight I just finished them and wanted to share with you how I made the Happy Birthday cards. In my mine I wanted to keep the cards pretty with the waters colors and make the background simply but yet give it dimensions.

Happy Birthday Cards total of eight, each one came out looking beautiful and different.
I used VersaMark watermark stamp pad and Altenew White, Gold and silver embossing powders and then heat set it. On to Strathmore Mixed Media paper vellum surface. Because I knew I wanted to watercolor each flower.
Then I started picking my watercolor. I used Karin Brushmarkers Pro: Orange red 051, apple 210, gold yellow 283, plum 197, turquoise 654, burgundy 075 and olive green 281. I took a wet clean brush and apply water in a petal, then added my watercolors. Then with another clean water brush blended out the colors of each flowers. Hope this makes sense to you guys. It’s a simple technique and the embossing powder kept the water and watercolors in each pedal. Sometime I would do one flower pedal and let it dry and moved on to another pedal one that was away from the wet pedal. This process works fast because I’m using watercolors and they dry really fast.
Here are the products I used for all of these cards. Also My background was done with Altenew botanical 3D embossing folder called Always Sunshine on 110 white card stock. Then I took a wrapped stitch rectangles die made by Memory Box and cute with my sizzix where I wanted the flowers to show. I love the way they all came out.

If you have any question please let me know my email address is simplycraftydesigns@yahoo.com. And I hope you try this card with anything you have in your stash.

Thank you for checking out my blog. And have a bless day.
