Happy 1st Day of Spring! I know many of you are still dealing with snow, ice, flood waters, tornado aftermath, and then some. It's been a rough winter and our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Here in the south we are drying out from record breaking rainfall and more rain to come, but things are starting to bloom around here too! Yay! And our biggest reason for us to celebrate is our daughter's birthday is today too!!!
How I made this Spring Birthday card...
I'm so happy I can finally share this purple beauty I made for my daughters birthday! I started with an A2 (4.25x5.5") purple cardstock base, because purple is her favorite color. And using my Big Shot I cut a banner from one of my favorite banner/fishtale dies in this lovely green patterned paper and adhered to card base. Using my MISTI stamp tool I positioned and centered the sentiment right where I wanted it. Inked the sentiment with clear ink, sprinkled with white embossing powder, and heat set. It's from one of my favorite sentiment stamp kits listed below.

Using my MISTI stamping tool again, I stamped a frame in purple a couple times until I got a good solid purple color on water color card stock. Then I stamped this gorgeous Angiegirl Violet image with Gina K Amalgam black ink, it's my favorite and works with ALL coloring mediums. I centered her inside the fame with my MISTI to line her up perfectly. She just exudes Spring, doesn't she? And she's versatile for many occasions, weddings, new mother, mother's day, and more. I just love her!
And this time I colored in this beautiful girl with water color pencils. I've been anxious to try them out. I added a touch of color to the outer lines of my Violet girl and used a Q-tip dabbed in a touch of water to smooth out the color and work it around the image, adding more color with a pencil as needed, smoothing again, until I liked her. And I did the same to create her background too with a little misting of water to make it blend. Adhered to the card panel. Added this stunning purple rose ribbon to the top and lots of purple adhesive gems to make her sparkle. I just love her and the roses in her hair too! Isn't she pretty??? She's my new favorite stamp!

I mix and matched 3 different stamp sets, different colors and patterns, and tried water color pencils to create this beauty for my daughters birthday. And she LOVED it!!!
