Birthday Trading Card


Hello! My 7-year old son requested me to create a card for his classmate who is going to celebrate his birthday. I always get him involved with the card making. For this card, he wanted a cake with an orange icing because that is his friend's favorite color. 

For the technique, I am trying a no-line water watercoloring and resist watercoloring. The image is from My Favorite Things BB Beary Special Birthday.


For the no-line watercoloring, I stamped the image using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Antique Linen. I also colored the image using various Tim Holtz Distress Inks. 


For the resist watercoloring, I stamped the image using Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Wow! Gold Pearl embossing powder. I also colored the image with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

I am using Canson watercolor paper. I die cut the watercolored panels with Mama Elephant Peek A Frame Creative Cuts. The sentiment was stamped using Altenew Paper Bag Crisp dye ink. I used a Sakura Black Glaze pen for the eyes.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
