I used two challenges to inspire my birthday card for a very dear family friend. I wanted it flat for mailing, too!
The Color Throwdown for colors (the blue is in the postage stamping) and
And Fusion for colors AND sketch.
Here's my card:
I LOVE these flowers from Crafty Individuals (U.K.) The banner was cut out of a leftover scrap of watercolored paper with paint on it.
I stamped them on water color paper and cut them out.
Middle panel
On the panel to the right, I colored it the boldest and added texture paste with beads to the flower center. (Wish you could see it in real life!)
This card will be mailed to New York City tomorrow!
I hope you like it but most of all, I hope my friend likes it!
