Seize the Birthday challenge blog is celebrating their 200th challenge, and I am going to help them celebrate! I was inspired by the colors of pink, blue, purple and yellow, the three balloons and spatters.
This is an A2-sized card. I used watercolor paper for the panel and the balloons.
I started by setting up my palette. I used Distress inks as watercolors: Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet and Squeezed Lemonade. I started with the first three colors for the balloons. I put them on one piece of paper so I could get some movement of the watercolors. After that dried, I punched the balloons out using a Stampin' Up! punch. I tied black thread to each balloon and secured it with a dot of glue.
Then, I moved to the watercolor paper panel. I used the yellow as the background. I smeared it onto the paper in a back and forth motion. I didn't go to the edges. I spattered the first three colors onto the panel. It didn't take this long to dry because I used a relatively dry brush. Next, I stamped the sentiment (Stampin' Up!). I adhered the panel to the turquoise card base with double-sided tape.
The last thing I did was to glue the two balloons to the panel. I used double-sided foam tape to lift the purple balloon on the right.
I'm sharing this with:
