I have had this image in my stash, and decided to put it together into a quick birthday card for todays post. I stamped my image in Stazon onto 140# cold press watercolor paper. Colored in with Watercolor pencils and regular watercolor brushes.
I wanted a simple card today without all the layers as I wanted the image to be the focus. The card is a base of Night of Navy, with a layer of Green Galore behind the image. I ran a quick strip of Orchid Opulence and Night of Navy Ribbon behind the image adding a Filigree Brad #112577. The flower stamens were done by making french knots with embroidery floss.
Here’s a close up of the french knots. I think they really added a lot to the card.
Of course I had to do a little to the inside…
The inside sentiment is my favorite, I could send this sentiment to everyone that knows me and they would say, Yup its from Carla. *smile* Its says…
I Remembered! then I forgot. Then I Remembered I forgot! Hope you had a Happy Day!
The little circle sentiment on the top is covering the Filigree Brad prongs and says Happy Birthday and is from Circle of Friendship (retired). The little flower is from Seeing Spots which is also retired. The main image is a DRS Design that I’ve had for a few years. The dots edge punch is from EK Success.Enjoy and let me know or click the shop now button for any SU items you might need. Hugs,
