Birthday Month

Another birthday card for another friend's birthday!  Between family and friends, late March and April is birthday time here!  I will also be sharing these cards over at Simon Says Wednesday challenge.

I began by stamping onto watercolor paper, the Stampin Up cheesecloth background stamp in versamark ink and then embossing in gold embossing powder.  Heather Telford shared this technique on her blog.

I then came back with various colors of color burst and spritzed with water until I achieved results that I liked.  I mounted the watercolor paper onto coordinating cardstock and then onto a white card base.  The sentiment is cut three times from matching cardstock and glued together so it has a raised appearance.  The sentiment is from Elizabeth Crafts.
