Welcome back to another Watercolour Challenge at Happy Little Stampers. I've chosen some simple blues and yellows for my card today - a bit of a change from all the autumn colours I've been using lately and before I get on to my Christmas colours - eek sorry I said the word Christmas but we are now in November!
I started off by doing a simple colour wash with a large paint brush and some Tim Holtz Distress Oxides in Fossilised Amber and Salty Ocean. I love the way these two colours go together. The beauty of the Distress Oxides too is that they keep their colour and don't merge to make green. Always a help! I used a piece of scrap paper to blank off where I would put my sentiment and kept it simple with Birthday Wishes. The stamps I have used here are by Tracy Evans - the flower is from Friendship Florals and the background stamps and the little hares are from Miniatures. I just adore those hares!
I used the same colours to colour the flowers and stamped them first and then re-stamped and cut them out and layered them to give more interest to the card.
