This fun and whimsical birthday card is for a co-worker of mine. It will be from the entire office hence the greeting on the inside that you will see later. To start off this card I began by grabbing some watercolor paper (mine is by Canson) and my watercolors. I used just a plain brush to achieve this look. First, I began by laying clean water down onto the paper in a square panel shape. Then I began with the lightest color yellow, then blended that with orange and then red on the paper to create a gradient of sorts. Then I created a new panel of water to begin the cool colors. I started with yellow again, then went to green, and then blue and let the water blend them together.

Once my watercolor was completely dry, I grabbed this stamp set by Inkadinkado and stamped out all of these cute underwater creatures in black memento ink (all products will be listed below). 

After I stamped them all in the colors I wanted, I began to fussy cut them out. This was probably the most tedious part of making this card. Once they were finally all cut out, I grabbed a card base made out of kraft cardstock and began to lay them out. When I was happy with the way they were laid out with the banner sentiment from studio g, I began to glue them down.

I also decided that the inside of the card was quite boring, so I glued down this little guy in there and wrote in a cute sentiment tying in all of the elements. If you have any sort of animal stamp set this is a really easy way to get another use out of it! I hope you guys enjoyed this birthday card. All products that are still available will be listed below. Thank you so much for stopping by!
