Hand Lettering #7: Happy Birthday Rainbow Card

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I'm sharing four cards with you, all in separate posts through the day. All my posts are scheduled and will go live every full odd hour, from 3 PM to 9 PM. This is my 2nd post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here. :o)


My second card today is this hand lettered, CAS (clean and simple), one layer, Happy Birthday Rainbow Card.


I wrote a sentiment on a top folded card base in cursive handwriting styleI used dip pen nib and black drawing ink. For a card base I used a Canson XL Mixed Media Paper.


I prepared various hand lettered samples during my personal challenge Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2017 to color during a 7th 30 Day Coloring Challenge by Kathy Racoosin of The Daily Marker. This one also. I hand lettered it on DAY 12 of my challenge and colored it on a DAY 15 of Kathy's challenge. :o)

I loosely watercolored the card in Rainbow color pattern using Distress Inks. I added color by color, drying them between. When I was satisfied with that large color splosh on my card, I splattered the card with same Distress Inks.

As a finishing touch, I highlighted the sentiment with white gel pen.
