Today is DD3's birthday and this is the card I made for her.
First I did a soft watercolor wash on a snippet and let it dry.
Then I inked this sweet bird with Stampin' Up! Markers, spritzed (just a little),
and stamped over the wash.
A little blending with a damp Aqua Painter finished the design.
It's mounted on a piece embossed with a Lil' Inker die and mounted
with dimensional tape.
I hope she likes it.
