Watercolor Flowers Card

Hello friends!! I want to share a card a I made while playing with my distress inks.
I created my own stamped background and gold embossed the sentiment on a piece of vellum. This is my very first time using vellum and I really like how it looks.
I'm entering this card in the CAS(E) this Sketch #168.


¡Hola amigos! Quiero compartir una tarjeta que hice mientras jugaba con mis tintas distress.
Creé mi propio diseño, estampando las flores en papel para acuarela; y estampé sobre vellum con polvos para grabado dorado. Es la primera vez que utilizo vellum y realmente me gusta cómo se ve.
Con esta tarjeta estoy participando en el reto de CAS(E) this Sketch #168.

A Moo-tiful Birthday Card

Hello!! Today's card was made for my sister in-law's birthday. She loves cows so to celebrate her birthday I wanted to make a cow's birthday card... and I really enjoyed creating that cute scene.

¡Hola! La tarjeta de hoy fue hecha para el cumpleaños de mi cuñada. A ella le encantan las vacas, así que, para celebrar su cumpleaños quise hacerle una tarjeta que incluyera una; y realmente disfruté creando esa linda escena.


 

 

 

I created my own sentiment using an alphabet stamp set. I think it's funny and perfect for the theme of the card.

 

Creé mi propio mensaje usando un set de sellos de letras. Es divertido y perfecto para el tema de la tarjeta.
