This card was one of those projects that just evolved….
I had no idea where I was going with it, but I love how it ended up.
I felt like just splashing some watercolor on paper.
I wanted to get “wild and crazy” and just tear the paper instead of cutting it.
After the watercolor dried, I stamped Penny Black’s Letter Stamp on top.
I then heat embossed Hero Arts’ ferns on top of that.
Then I splattered…
and I sponged the edges…
and I wrapped with some SU linen thread and a wooden button.
For the inside, I painted some “leftover” watercolor paint onto the Hero Arts Fern stamp. I LOVE how it turned out.
Then, I used the Paper Smooches Happy Birthday Sentiment on top of it.
It turned into a birthday card for a very special brother-in-law.
I hope he feels the love and passion that went into each step of the creation.
Kinda like the love I feel for him. 🙂
Happy Birthday Ron! May your birthday be as special as you!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
