Pisces Bday Card (Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2016, #7)

Hi everyone! :o)

My third post today... If you missed first two, just scroll down or follow direct links here and here.

I'm sharing CAS (clean and simple) cards I made for a Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2016 personal challenge. Visit my Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2016 page, where you can find more about my challenge, photo gallery and links to each card. :o)

Seventh card I made for the Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2016 is this Pisces Bday Card.

To make this one I was inspired with two cards.

First one was my Pisces Birthday Card. I used the same color palette and Pisces stamp. :o)

Second card that inspired me is a gorgeous card (link to Create a Smile blog) by Christine Drogt of Kartenchaos. 

Christine is very kind and friendly person and amazing designer, illustrator and many more. Her CAS cards designs are WoooW!

Christine is an owner and illustrator of Create a Smile. Stamps, stencils, papers, enamel stickers, wood chips... Love love love!!! :o) Here is a link to  Create a Smile blog and shop .

Christine also set up an art project #Smilespotting. Cards to brighten someones day, fun ideas and beautiful designs, gorgeous hand lettering... If you would like to find out more about this fun project, just follow this link. :o)

And now, how I made my card...

I cut out a panel from watercolor paper and traced four Create a Smile 'Nested Circles' wood chips on it.

I stamped Pisces from Mama Elephant 'Cosmic Stars' stamp set in the largest circle and colored them with Stabilo Markers in watercolor technique. I learned that from a great video tutorial by Julia Altermann, how to watercolor using inexpensive Stabilo pens.

I stamped a sentiment in the circle on the bottom of the card. Sentiment is a combination of two Create a Smile stamp sets. Sentiment 'happy day!' is from 'Uplifting' stamp set and letter 'B' (stamp 'boy') from 'Whimsical Vehicles' stamp set.

Then I colored other three circles also with Stabilo Markers in watercolor technique.

After drying, I erased pencil marks and glued the panel on a white card base. I glued nested circles around colored circles (bubbles) and my card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions are 101 mm x 133 mm (4 x 5 1/4").
