Green Lattice Birthday

I used several techniques on today's birthday card.
First, I laid my Tim Holtz Latticework Stencil over a panel of Arches Watercolor paper.  Then I sprinkled over the stencil with Leaf Green Brusho powder.  I spritzed water over the stencil and the Brusho exploded into this wonderful mix of green colors!

I dried the panel with my heat tool and added gold tape along the top and bottom.  I black embossed the happy and die cut the birthday out of white card.  I added 3 red rhinestones and adhered the panel to a white card base.

I'm linking my card to the following challenges:



 (inspired by the dish and colors)
 We're in a heat wave - so I'm going to go sit by the fan now!
(no, we didn't put our window air conditioners in yet)

    Oh, my goodness, Julia! Your watercolor card is gorgeous! Love the green stenciled background, and those gorgeous pops of white, black and red! I can't believe you can go through that heat without an air conditioner! It's hard to believe that we did not have A/C when I lived up north, because we got some pretty hot days! Try to stay cool! Sending hugs and A/C!

    That stencil really captures the upper right hand corner of that photo inspiration, as well as the color palette. Those red rhinestones really add just the right touch too. What a great card!! Bev

    Wow Julia, you made wonderful use of the Brushos, it is such a beautiful vibrant colour against the white. That was so brave of you to use the heat tool in such hot weather... the things we do for our craft! Hugs, Anne xx
