Watercolors...

Hello Everyone!!!

I'm back with another B'day card.

Sometimes cleaning is fun!!!

How ??? While cleaning my Heidi Swapp color shines today I made this card...

 Sometimes the color shine bottle nozzles get clogged, so I was cleaning them with a baby wipe, after while the baby wipe looked so pretty with the mix of colors.....that's how I got the idea of this water colored background!!!

I used Color Shine mists and water for the background...its super fun !!!

The colors are perfect for Spring time.

The die is from Papertrey Ink... ♥ it!!!

I'm not sure if you can see it in the pic, I have added a vellum layer around the diecut frame, so that the background behind the diecut is much more vibrant than the other parts. It is very pretty in real.

I also added lots of sparkle to diecut part with Wink of Stella glitter pen. There were some diecut stars from previous projects, they were the perfect lil' embellishments for this card.

I will enter this card for my super talented and sweet crafty friend Virginia's challenge.

Her new challenge blog is a BIG hit ...if you didn't get a chance to play along yet, hurry the 1st challenge is going to end soon.

This card is for the following challenges...

Virginia's View Challenge: Watercolors.
