This Birthday Card (BIRC) is a third card I made for a Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2020 personal challenge. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to complete my challenge this year. I will write a wrap up post in couple days.
My card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of my own card that I made three years ago, on March 16th, 2017 (here). I went with same design, layout, used same products, I just reversed colors in a rainbow drip. :o)
To make this card, I used a lovely paint brush image from 'Funny Bunny' stamp set and my favorite birthday sentiment (love that font) from 'Belated Birthday' stamp set.
How I made my card...
I stamped the paint brush on a watercolor paper, colored it with Distress Inks in a watercoloring technique, fussy cut the brush and traced edges with a black marker. I stamped another paint brush on a white cardstock paper scrap and fussy cut it, leaving white thin border around the brush. I colored the brush in black and glued the watercolored paint brush over it. I did this to make the image thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is thin and doesn't work well with pop up images. Lastly, I added white highlights with a white pigment ink pen.
I cut a panel from a watercolor paper and stamped the sentiment on the panel. Then I colored the rainbow drip with a lot of water and Distress Inks and dried it with Heat It Tool. After drying, I glued the panel on a white top folded white card base.
Then I glued a foam tape on the back of the paint brush and placed it on the card. As a finishing touch, I coated the rainbow drip and a color on the paint brush tip with a Clear Wink of Stella. Shimmery!!! :o)
