Seize the Birthday - Coloring

I had way more fun creating this card then I thought I would, when I was a kid I loved to colour. As an adult it is like it is a lost art to me, I can never shadow or blend colours as I want them too. I love how this card turned out though.

This card is for the current Seize the Birthday where the challenge is to create a Birthday card with colouring.

I used s simple layer, and then heat embossed the sentiments and the flowers. I coloured the flowers with my watercolour pencils and added a little clear glitter pen and finished with some gems. I took this smaller picture to show the glitter as it does not really show on the card picture.


Supplies: Cream and brown card stock, The stamps of Life – daisies2garden and creations2fill, Derwent-Watercolour, gems.

Cheers,
Nina

  5. Wow Nina,

    I ♥ it - especially how you embossed it. I will have to try that trick.

    Isn't it TOO funny, we both did a bouquet of flowers. Wooo woo!

  8. Nina, this is such a pretty flower, it actually reminded me of the flower on the dress of the girl I colored...stamping it for the background really makes a lovely statement and your coloring is wonderful and cheery! Thanks for linking up to Seize the Birthday and thank you for leaving sweet comments on my blog!
