Calm & Quiet – Happy Birthday

One more for the day!  Happy Saturday…

Mixing up a few other challenges: Simply Clean and Simple (#002) Style and Theme with the Global Design Project (#405) Colors and the Happy Little Stampers (August) Watercolor Technique.

Here is the result:

CALM & QUIET – SENTIMENTAL PARK – SCS002 – GDP405 – HLS Watercolor August 2023

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
    • The sentiment, Happy Birthday, from the Sentimental Park stamp set was stamped with Pebbled Path ink.
  • Accent Mat: (2⅞” x 3⅝”) Pebbled Path cardstock.
  • Focal Image – Scene: (2¾” x 3½”) Basic White cardstock.
    • The Bird/Grass/Water image from the Calm & Quiet Hostess stamp set was stamped with Stazon Saddle Brown ink.
    • Using the Fine-Tipped Water Painter Brush, the scene was water-colored with Boho Blue, Wild Wheat and Pebbled Path inks direct from Ink Pad Lid.

Keeping the card clean and simple, the framed scene was added to the card base.

A wonderful water-colored image, so suitable for a masculine birthday but also gender-neutral.

  2. What a lovely, idyllic scene you created. Watercolouring was the perfect technique for this. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Watercolour Challenge.
