CAS Watercolour Happy Birthday Reminder!

Time for CAS Watercolour Birthday Reminder cards by the talented DT 

and our amazing Guest Designer, Birgit (Rapport fran ett skrivbord)

I am so pleased to have another Birthday card in my stash:-)

Here is a close up of the Magicals Mica Powder Shine!

I have been playing with a tripod this week given to me by Denny from his photography "Stash"!

It is a good backpack tripod with lots of loving nicks and scratches and memories:-)

Thanks again Denny and especially for the tips!

I am especially pleased with the clear and non-blurry close up.

I am also playing with my new Lindy's Stamp Gang Prairie Wildflower Magicals Set, which was a SSS gift from Loll.  Thanks again dear friend.

Here is another recent birthday card I made using the product.

I added Bells of Ireland Green powder to my paint palette well and reconstituted with water.  Then added Bachelor Button Blue to another well and reconstituted.

Now I was ready to do a wet on wet watercolor wash technique using a flat wet brush

onto Strathmore Mixed Media watercolor paper.  

I painted the green and then the blue Magicals letting them blend by tipping my paper.

I loved the result.  It is interesting how all the shine does not show up until the paint is dry.

Very Magical!

Next I die cut the frame using MB Stitched Rectangle die.

Then die cut the happy with CUTplorations Happy Word Die 3 times.  

Once from the watercolor background and twice with SU Thick Whisper White CS. 

I attached all 3 layers using SU Fine Tip Glue Pen, which made the hidden word pop up.

Then used my MISTI to stamp birthday.  

Added sequins for a bit more bling and fun foam to pop up the image

onto the SU Thick Whisper White card base.

I loved the color combination, shine and watercolor wash.  Hope you like it too.

You have until the 24th to join us at CAS Watercolour.  

Be sure and check out the DT, GD and Gallery cards.  So much Gorgeous Inspiration. Hugs...
