I made a quick card last week for my stamping friend's birthday, but waited to post it until tonight since I didn't want her to see it on my blog or any of my galleries before she got it. ;) Hugs and Happy Birthday, Friend! You know who you are. :)
I used the new Stampin' Up! set Remarkable You for her card. I stamped the calla lilies with VersaMark, embossed them in white and cut them out. I sponged the color on them using So Saffron, Pink Pirouette and Wild Wasabi. I used watercolor paper for the background and did a watercolor wash using So Saffron and Pink Pirouette also. When it was dry I ran it through my Big Shot using the Stylish Stripes embossing folder. I sponged around the edges of the "Happy Birthday" and the edges of the card stock with the flowers on it once again using So Saffron and Pink Pirouette. I popped up the lilies and Happy Birthday with dimensionals and finished the card off with a few Pearls.
I can't forget to add that this card was inspired by Sketch and Stamp #111 HERE and this is the sketch I worked with. Have I ever mentioned I love sketch challenges? ;)
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
