I'm really happy with how this turned out....I used one of my sweet sweet friends and AMAZING ARTist, Paulo decorative border and I created the flower based from the digital image I used in the creation of this card!!! I printed the digital image out on watercolor paper and colored with watercolor pencils....sharpies, bics and Tim Holtz distress inks........I used my polka dot embossing sleeve with the cuttlebug on the image once I had colored it then layerd over a tan cardstock.....I cut the words Happy Birthday as well with my cricut.....the flowers I cut I cut onto watercolor paper then colored them also with my watercolor pencils....for the center of all the flowers I used Rangers Sepia Accents and then took some brown yard and cut into itty bitty pieces to use as "flocking" to give the center of the flowers the fuzzy feel..........I used 3 different ribbons on the card.....
I also created a matching envelope and inside lining of the card.....Purple is my favorie color so I LOVE the warmth of this card......
7/9/2009 - Added Note: (I had someone ask what type of watercolor paper I ran through my printer to print this image onto.....I used Strathmore 90lb Watercolor paper) Keep in mind I do have a Laser Color Printer CP1215 that allows me to use thick paper....another wonderful reason I love my laser printer so much......I hope that answered your question....
So if anyone is interested in the digital image, or the flowers I created please click the image or designated area below.........
