Whole Lot of Lovely Birthday

I have to thank Cheryll Miller at senseofwhimsy for the lesson on how to watercolor on vellum. This card was inspired by one of her cards on her blog, so Thank You!

I love how this card came together. There are a lot of steps to this card, but it really is an easy card to make. The first thing I did was throw down some messy patches on a piece of vellum that was just big enough to cut out the dragonflies.

Then I used a blender pen to color the patches, making sure I colored one color at a time so the colors didn't bleed together on the pen.

Then be sure to turn the vellum over and cut on the wrong side so the watercolor will be face down on the finished card. Then, once the card was completed, I finished off the dragonfly with Wink of Stella to add some glimmer to them.

I hope you like this card. Please leave me a comment below to let me know, or just to say "HI!"

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day, and Happy Stampin!
