Winged Beauty Make Your Heart Sing


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.

Beautiful!!!! I do appreciate you telling us how you achieved this. I do have some of those of the Lil' Inker die as I love what you do with them but not real clear how to use them.
