Happy Belated Birthday, Kerry!


A birthday card for a crafty friend of mine. Kerry loves the randomness of smooshed watercolor backgrounds so I thought I would incorporate that technique into my card for her.
  • A combo of Distress Ink and Oxide used, with drying between layers to avoid muddying, then a spatter of plain water
  • The trunk is also smooshed with some more-or-less careful masking
  • The tree background is cut from non-watercolor cardstock so the trunk has a pebbled texture due to the application of water during smooshing
  • The leaves are smooshed too
  • The fairies are colored with Copics (RV0000-RV00 for wings, RV21-29 for outfits)
  • Wink of Stella on like everything tho invisible in the picture--leaves, wings
  • The tree coverplate is inset
I based my colors on the current THD Challenge 12.  I hope you plan to join in the fun!
