Happy Sunday to you. Hope everyone's been having a good weekend.
Today I am sharing one card celebrating both a birthday and our American Thanksgiving holiday. It's for my dear mother-in-law, whose birthday is often on Thanksgiving or just a few days after. She likes my watercoloring, so that's what I did.
😁
Supplies Used:
Springhill Digital card
Watercolor Paper
Basic Grey Perhaps 12x12 designer papers
Cardstock scraps
Power Poppy digi Hellebores
Watercolor Paints & Metallic Watercolor Paints
Amazon vertical Happy Birthday die
MFT Scribble Roses die
Hero Arts Thankful For You stamp
Versafine Clair ink
Stamplorations Wonky Stitch Rectangle die (inside)
Wink of Stella, metallic gel pens & glitter markers
Viva Decor Pearl paint pen
I chose this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design, resizing it to a 6x6" square card.
I began by using my regular cheapo watercolors to create a soft pastel background on wetted watercolor paper.

I switched to my metallic watercolors to paint the image where I was able to add some gold across the bottom and silver here and there on some of the flower pedals and in the water glass. I added some glitter with my pens. On the die cut Scribble Roses adorning the vertical sentiment, I added gel penning and some paint pen pearls.
Inside, some of the BG Perhaps and a digital sentiment created by me in PSE on a die cut scrap of green
On back, more of that BG paper and a stamped and circle-punched siggie.
And final view. Thanks for visiting and here's to a stellar week ahead, XOXO
