#1083 – Yellow Daisy Field

Hello and welcome to yet another challenge at Seize the Birthday challenge. I thought I had this post scheduled but apparently not!! Well, better late than never! 😉

It’s always an Anything Goes challenge with an optional topping provided by our leading ladies. This time’s leading lady, Nancy, has chosen the topping as ‘Any Color and Green‘.

I had my sister’s birthday coming up for which I was going to make a card anyway, so I thought I would go with my familiar field of watercoloring flowers. I have wanted to paint daisies or sunflowers for a long time, and this seemed like a great time to try, since I had my mojo up and running! 🙂

And here’s what I made –

I used stamps from Winnie & Walter In Bloom: Addie’s Garden and In Bloom: Anna’s Flora. For the paper I used Canson Montval and then used Daniel Smith watercolors to paint. To mount it on a card base, I trimmed it a bit. But then started having problems with what color to choose for the card base. I finally went with kraft colored, but stamped a few dots and speckles on it before adhering the watercolor panel.

For the sentiment, I first colored a scrap piece of cardstock using Prima sparkly paint in brown and then once it dried, I used Dress My Craft Fancy Birthday die. I also die cut a couple more pieces using the kraft cardstock and then adhered them. The ‘wishes’ comes a part of a stamp from Reverse Confetti Tall Blooms.

And that’s my card for my dear sister! A very happy birthday to you, sis! May your days be as bright and cheerful as these sunflowers! ❤

I will also join the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge: Spring Flowers
