Floral Birthday

Can you believe June is here? That means this is the last card sketch for this term at Stick It Down. 

   I created this lovely watercolor birthday card for my mom. 

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse and Crafter's Companion), pattern paper: (Cocoa Vanilla Studio), inks (Crafter's Companion, Ranger), sticker: (Cocoa Vanilla Studio), washi tape (Pebbles Inc.), and embossing powder (Stampabilities)  

   I am currently loving these Sparkle Inks from Crafter's Companion. I used them to paint in the black and white floral pattern paper that is matted in black cardstock. 

 You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of the sketches.  Just add your creation in the link in the Stick It Down sidebar.  If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown.  We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in August.
