Happy Birthday Appu !

Next week my roommate is celebrating her birthday and this is a card I made for her. 

Hey girl if you are reading this post : HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! 

A special Card

I made this card for my mom. It's one of my most favorite cards of the ones I made so far. 

I used paper smooching technique to make this card. Well, if you are new to card making I will elaborate. This technique is done using distress inks primarily. You also need an acetate sheet, water mister and watercolour paper too. Here I used distress ink colour 'Peacock feathers'. 

Wet the surface of your watercolour paper well with a brush. Press down your distress ink pad on to an acetate sheet. Now using a water mister spray on to the acetate sheet. Next step is to press down the acetate sheet on to the wet watercolour paper. The water will do the rest of the work. You can move your acetate sheet to give colour to the areas you prefer. Let the paper dry and you will get an amazing watercoloury background. 

The floral image and the sentiment is from Avery Elle Laurels stamp set. And to finish it off tied a black and white baker twine. And voila you have your card ! 

Until next time...
