Age Is Just a Number

I have a birthday card to share today that I've already sent to my lovely blogging friend, Darnell, as her birthday is today and it needed to wend it's way from Massachusetts to California! I know she has received it already!

 (and was not offended by the tongue in cheek sentiment!!)

The flowers are a two part stamp from Rubbernecker called Wild Flower Joy.  I put the stem and flower centers stamp in my stamp positioner, colored the stamp with a Black Soot Ranger Distress Marker, spritzed the stamp with water and then stamped it on a panel of watercolor paper.  Then I lined up the flower stamp over the stem stamping, lifted it in the stamp positioner and colored the blooms with Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Markers.  I spritzed  the stamp with water and pressed it onto the watercolor panel over the stems. I added a little blue watercolor wash along the right side of the stampings and stamped the sentiment from Off Beat Birthday from PTI.

I die cut the stamped panel with Tipped Top Die from PTI and die cut the Bright Buttercup panel with Stitched Edge rectangle die from Waltzingmouse (retired).   I added the die cut Tied Trio from Impression Obsession to wrap up my blooms into a bouquet!

Hope you have a wonderful birthday celebration today Darnell!
