Birthday Blooms

IMG_7756I can’t believe that the weekend is here already.  I also can’t believe what a slacker I’ve been about my posting to my blog….ok….I can believe it.  I’m just glad that you stick with me and continue to read my blog (at least once in awhile).

Today’s card is one we made in our Flower Power class last week.  The whole class was centered around flowers….perfect for Mother’s day or any occasion.

I kind of feel sorrow for the flowers around here in Denver.  They’re going to get pretty cold in the next day or so….Yep!  It’s suppose to snow again.  Actually it was snowing this morning a bit when I went out but the rest of the day has just been damp and dreary.  We’ll see if the weatherman is correct.

I tried something a little different (at least for me) on this card.  I watercolored the image with my Aqua Painter and ink pads but then I went over the parts I wanted a little darker with the coordinating marker.  It really turned out nicely.  I liked it too because I didn’t over-saturate the card stock by going over it again and again with my Aqua Painter.  I’ll have to try and remember that trick for the next time I water color.

Did you notice that I did “the random thing” with the silver thread?  Ha!  You know how much trouble I have with random but I thought I’d give it a try again.  It does do a little something for the card.  I just have to get over trying to hard when I do random!

Wishing you all a warm and snowless day!  Happy Stamping!
