Happy Birthday Loll

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by.

Today I'm celebrating the birthday of my cherished friend, Loll.

Happy Birthday, my friend.


I've inked this Technique Tuesday stamp with Distress Markers and ink pads
and used a damp waterbrush to blend the colors.  Where I needed more color,
I smooshed ink on my palette and picked up the ink with my waterbrush.

I hope you have a wonderful day, dear friend.

This is such a beautiful card for Loll's Birthday! Love the colors (thanks for sharing them) and that you fussy cut the image so some fell outside of the square. I am thinking Loll will cherish this card.

The water colouring/stamping looks amazing Bonnie and I like how the leaves flow out of the die cut aperture x.
